That argument makes sense if Tampa is getting an impact player back for Drouin, if they had been offered that then he would probably already have been traded. Yzerman isn't likely to trade him for depth player(s) just to get a deal done. If they aren't getting back a significant, ready to play, asset then Tampa is no worse off waiting until the draft IMO.
