THE ATHLETIC IS GARBAGE
Yzerman will get value for him. If he is worth little now that isn't going to change in the next few weeks. I don't understand the mentality to just get rid of him because reasons.
I think Wings fans would have been fully onboard with a trade for Drouin before this stuff hit the headlines for Mantha, Bertuzzi, and 1st. Now I suspect DRW fans would scoff at Jurco + 3rd.
It looks like most fans in the trade thread are trying to peddle their under-achiving prospects/busts + conditional draft picks for Drouin.
While I agree this means nothing, but this situation does seem to leave a sour taste in everyones mouth. Whatever the return Drouin brings now will be less than it would have been before the news hit the headlines. Based on that simple fact alone, Yzerman made an ill-conceived gamble lost.
