Why trade him for scraps, if that's all that's being offered? Yzerman should wait until the right deal comes along, and he's got several years to wait. Why rush it? It might be the "right" thing to do to make a trade asap for the kid to revive his career, but Yzerman is in the business of winning, period. Nothing else.
Drouin should fire the agent, and apologize to the boss, then work his keester off in the minors. Who knows, maybe he's good enough for a xallup on the big club.

I'm skeptical that Drouin's value will increase past this summer and if it does I think its marginal at best. I don't think anyone really benefits by holding onto him long term waiting for this deal that might never come.
