Yeah it definitely depends on who drafts him. Some teams are more cautious than others. Huberdeau essentially made the Panthers last season but they sent him back to junior anyway. I suspect we could see a similar thing happen with Drouin. He's obviously got the talent to make the jump right away but could benefit from more time adding strength. Don't rule out the impact draft position can have as well. If Drouin goes first overall there's almost no way he doesn't make the leap. There's just too much pressure on NHL teams to get the first overall pick out there right away. The second or third pick might be easier to send back down.
