He's done little to earn anything.
And now he's listening to bad advice from his manager.
I like accumulating young talent as much as this guy. But I'm not giving up that much to see if this kid screws his head on straight and shows half the talent that he had going into the draft.
If you trade for him, and he's crappy and you send him to the farm is he going to pout again?

I have a hard time believing an agent would tell his blue chip prospect to sit out to force a trade, in the end Drouin is the boss and it's on him.
I do however think there's something very wrong in the Big Guava, St.Louis went totally against character and demanded a trade, A true superstar in Stamkos not signed at age 26 and now a 3rd overall pick demanding a trade.
Brett Connolly reportedly said after his trade to Boston "happiest hockey day since my draft day"
I have no reason to say it but it smells of a power tripping Stevie Y or meddling owner
