That's the thing with this though...Drouin isn't a star player, and in fact at this point, isn't even a player....period.
I don't know if Yzerman is liked by his players or not, though I suspect he is in general, but I see nothing to indicate one way or another. The St. Louis thing was a player who became petulant and lost all sorts of respect league wide. The trade Yzerman made for him, in hindsight, was a stroke of genius when you consider that he was negotiating with one team only.
The Stamkos thing has little to do with Yzerman IMO, and a whole lot to do with Jon Cooper. I still think SS ends up signing with Tampa, but if not I don't believe it will reflect one way or another on Stevie Y
