There's rumors he had spat with hockey Canada, and he was not a happy camper and sulked the entire year when the Lighting sent him back to juniors after he was drafted.
This guy is poison in my mind. I don't want him anywhere near the Flames prospects unless they get him ridiculously cheap and are willing to throw him out the door the minute he crosses the line or displays his piss-poor attitude.

Where did I say that I want him on the Flames? I'm just saying Yzerman handled this terribly.
If there is already a history of idiocy and immaturity surrounding Drouin's young career, you don't want to add fuel to the fire. The more Yzerman slanders Drouin, the less value he has. It's quite simple.
