He fills a need and is 21 years old.

With that being said, I think TB wouldn't do this trade without us adding. I'd add Wotherspoon but not sure if that would get the deal done.
You would have to add a lot. Drouin wanted out because he was not getting ice time. He is getting it in spades now in the playoffs and is showing why he was drafted so high. He has helped show the Lightning don't need Stamkos to get far in the playoffs and he comes cheap contract wise for them right now. I don't think Yzerman ever even entertained trading him, he probably pulled Cooper into his office and made it clear that when Drouin came back up to give him plenty of opportunity. I think both sides have mended the fence, he will stay, they will let Stamkos walk because cap wise it makes too much sense.
