Everyone thinks they deserve a better chance.
With a little patience and humility, Drouin will break through fine in the Tampa system. The idea that people in the organisation are going to hold back their own third overall pick is ridiculous. Problem is, he and his agent are getting antsy about not being able to make big money on his next contract.
This is assuming you can't get him below his market price. Obviously there's a point where he becomes desirable.
