Yeah Drouin is a tough deal.
Yzerman is going to want the value of the potential that you usually get from a 3rd overall pick.
But the guy hasn't been able to stay in the lineup, has had injury issues, and in his 3rd year post draft should really be taking a bigger step.
Barkov, Mackinnon, Monahan, Domi, Lindholm, etc are all taking that step this year.
You see guys like Bennett, Draisaitl, Reinhart, Larkin, etc taking that step in their 2nd season post draft.
Drouin really is being left behind here, and the longer Yzerman waits the lower his value probably goes.
