This is the culmination of a frustrated and unhappy player that is worried about his future, and it likely took a while to reach the boiling point. A lot of that is on Drouin, but I think a significant portion is on the Lightning.

Hate to pile on, but none of this is on the Lightning. Sven is a perfect comparable. Are the Flames to blame they didn't gift him top 6 minutes and then ending up with a disgruntled player? To Sven's credit, he continued working hard and was awarded with a trade. That's all Drouin had to do. Work hard, prove you can play, and either you'll be called up to the big team, or be traded.
