Why? I would say he more/less has to trade him eventually, as he is clearly not someone he wants to build his franchise around, but there is definitely no rush. His value is far from max right now, and it certainly can go up or down. Unless Drouin struggles in the AHL for the rest of the year, his value is going to be higher in the off season.
It is in Yzerman's, and frankly all of the GMs' best interests to not bow to pressure from a player on an ELC...at least not immediately.
