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.

I'm not saying you did. I'm saying I don't want him anywhere near the Flames unless we are giving something pretty meaningless up (Russell/Poirier type combo).
I don't think Yzerman added any fuel to the fire. I think it's pretty well known by NHL GM's already which is why Yzerman was having trouble moving him for a reasonably comparable return. Drouin going public and quitting on his AHL team is what has really messed this up for TB. If I were them, i'd be using Drouin to set an example going forward and he'd be suspended for the entire year. I don't think they are going to get any value for him anyways now.
