No way Yzerman would only take a Poirier back. Poirier is a B-level prospect right now. Yzerman's cited numerous times that Drouin was taken 3rd in the draft, and they have huge expectations from him to be an anchor of their team moving forward, and that the'd need an equal talent in return.
Given this, and the fact you have half of the league in a bidding war to get him, I have a hard time thinking Calgary lines up in this kind of a trade. The Flames undoubtedly have the assets, but IMO it stalls the growth of the team to part with those assets in order to bring Drouin in.
