With the way this has been handled I'm not sure Drouin goes for anything other than "ridiculously cheap."
I'd take him on the Flames if the price was right. Like you said, if he doesn't cost a ton to acquire, they can throw him out the door the moment he steps out of line.
Let's remember; the truth often sits somewhere between the two stories you hear. We have the Lightning's explanation of events and Drouin's. I don't doubt for a moment this kid might be a bit entitled. I'm also hesitant to believe he's a complete lost cause. Right now his price is lower than it was yesterday morning. Can't hurt to kick the tires and see if something comes of it that benefits the Flames.
