Of note with Turris, Wheeler and Baertschi, Treliving was on the side dumping those guys, not acquiring them. That would give an indication of where his head is probably at wrt Drouin. But he'll also be kicking tires, just like everyone else. If you think you can hose the Lightning, you probably take the chance anyway.
As far as Hartley and Drouin goes, I don't see that ending well. Lightning fans on Reddit are calling him a defensive liability - which is why he is getting limited ice time, p/60 be damned.
