With respect to Yzerman being in the driver's seat: no, he isn't.
Are there plenty of interested teams? Of course. But no matter what Yzerman states publicly, he HAS to trade Drouin. He knows it, and every other GM knows it.
Therefore, the offers will reflect that. The 'bidding' will ensure that the offer rises to something decent, and he won't have to settle for scraps. But it DOES NOT put him in the driver's seat.
