Yzerman handled the Drouin situation like a boss is supposed to. But if you want to argue he's lucky Stamkos had a blood clot issue, I guess you can.

RFAs have a little power. They don't have much. The only player to use your so called nuclear option is still on his team.

And there's literally no precedent for an RFA demanding a trade in the middle of a contract negotiation in the modern NHL.

Kyle Turris?
