I wonder if either team would look a trade around Drouin and Johansen? Not out of conference but at least out of division.

Johansen, a 4th overall, has proven a ton more but has had 3 more years to do so. He has reported attitude and conditioning issues and the coach hasn't been the most vocal fan of his leading to a lot of trade rumours.

Drouin has requested a trade, a former 3rd overall, would probably be one of the most sought after 'prospects' up for grabs. I wonder if Tampa was willing to throw in someone like DeAngelo to make up for the difference given what Johansen's already shown in the NHL. Tampa's still has young defenders like Nesterov and Koekkoek knocking at the door while Columbus gets one of the top boom or bust defenseman prospect around to go along with the young forward.
