I think everyone gets that. If I believed in Drouin, and not sure I do, I'd move two of Hickey/Andersson/Kylington for him. But I'd be hesitant, all three show tremendous upside and it would obliterate any defensive prospect depth we have.

I don't think it's silly at all to include Anderson or Killington in a trade proposal to get Drouin.
I think its actually the opposite. To consider them untouchable when you have a chance to get a player like Drouin is sillyness

Yeah, I know what side you're on, I'm just saying comparing them to Wotherspoon because he is off track doesn't mean we should be looser with anyone else that comes along.
Drouin might be a young dynamic forward but he is a young dynamic forward that has struggled to make the NHL when everyone else drafted around him has flourished. Getting to the NHL is a marathon not a race but couple that with a trade request and you're hesitant to give up what you think are high end prospects.
