Unless he's injured or called back up to Tampa, looks like something is finally going down!

I've heard Colton Parayko's name mentioned as a piece going to Tampa...

Options are traded, injured, held out by team, player refusing to play. I would put more money on the last 3 than the first at this point

Just can't see Drouin being more than a 2nd line player, which is still good, but I wouldn't pay too much for him.

Hahahaha.

That's a bold move by Drouin.

He certainly is not helping his value with dumb moves like not showing up to a game.

The team's press release...

Quote:
Tampa Bay Lightning forward Jonathan Drouin has been suspended indefinitely without pay by the team after his failure to report for tonight’s game between the Syracuse Crunch and the Toronto Marlies, vice president and general manager Steve Yzerman announced this evening. The team will make no further comment at this time.
Have Drouin no-show right before a game in hockey's biggest media market? That Alan Walsh guy sure is SMRT.

@reporterchris
Requesting a trade was a bold play by Jonathan Drouin. This is the nuclear option.

That's one way to go. I'm not going to judge this as we have no idea what the underlying issues are here. Could be a good time to jump in and buy low though.

His trade value just got cut in half. Guess that's one way to get yourself traded.

Would be hilarious if the Lightning just let him stew without playing any hockey for the rest of his contract. At this point, they're going to get so little for him that it might be worth it.
