It's important to keep him in mind because over the last three years, he's the most common winger for Ryan Getzlaf (outside of Corey Perry, obviously). They're also excellent together.

From Puckalytics.com, they score more goals together (3.61 per 60 minutes) than apart (Getzlaf is highest without Maroon at 3.37), they are much better defensively together (47.74 shot attempts against per 60 minutes) than apart (Maroon is highest at 53.00), and their possession rate when together is elite (56.6-percent), but apart the best is Perry at 51.1.

It's a lot of numbers to say that of all the line mates the Getzlaf/Perry duo has had over the last few years, Maroon has played the most with them, and has found the most success with them. Coaches love to talk about coaching in pairs of players, but any coach will admit he likes to have lines where he can just "set it and forget it." This trio could be it.

He will be moved up and down the lineup like he's always been, but Maroon is another name to keep in mind for roto leagues as the draft season approaches. With relatively consistent top line and power play unit minutes, Maroon has potential for 15 goals, 40 points, and near 100 penalty minutes.

I'm just wondering aloud, but there's no way Jonathan Drouin isn't on Steven Stamkos' line next year, right?

It's funny to think of a 43-goal season like Stamkos had last year as a down year, but as far as points per game goes, it was his lowest rate (0.88) since his rookie season in 2008-2009 as an 18-year old. A big part of that was playing under 20 minutes a game for the first time since that rookie season as well, but he also had one more assist (29) than he did in the lockout-shortened season (28). There's no doubt that he needs someone to play with.

Ryan Callahan is not the player he was two years ago (and he wasn't the player two years ago people thought he was). The Triplets line isn't being broken up, so what else is there? Alex Killorn, maybe? Erik Condra in his first season with the team? Are these really the guys that a franchise player should be surrounded with?

Like I said, it's a unique situation because of the Triplets line, but Stamkos needs some help. Playing him with Valtteri Filppula is fine, but they need someone else who can finish. Drouin is a very good playmaker, but he can put the puck in the net if need be. With such a down year last year, he could provide good value once draft day rolls around, if only because Stamkos needs someone he can play with. Drouin should be that player.

Just watch in awe of who Drouin really is:
