Just saw that on BMac's live Q&A on twitter

He said this weeks ago.

 

[SEALBound]

What are the Bolts looking for (both pre and post drafts)?

 

[strictlyrandy]

Some Avs media suggested EJ for Garrison and Drouin should happen.

Good lord that would be moronic for Colorado to do.

 

[ltpato]

For a young solid Top 4 D or young solid Top 6 F

 

[These Are The Days]

What the hell is the obsession with trading this guy?

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

Ryan Murray + Sonny Milano + Calvert (reasonable cap dump) and a pick for Drouin?

 

[Kamiccolo]

Good lord that would be moronic for Colorado to do.

A rebuilding team trades a D over 30 who already has a questionable contract and health concerns going for a potential first line winger?

Seems like a good move to me.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

What are the Bolts looking for (both pre and post drafts)?

More then like a top 4 RHD supposedly there was a deal of Drouin for Shattenkirk but Shatty said no so a top 4 RHD is probably what Yzerman wants for Drouin.

Ryan Murray + Sonny Milano + Calvert (reasonable cap dump) and a pick for Drouin?

Change Milano for Dubois and we add Tyler Johnson (a proven playoff performer) who is good for 50-60 points a season + our first round pick ?

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Doubt vatanen would get it done but what about something around vatanen and jones

I might be wrong, but I don't think CBJ can afford that, capwise.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

This is as good as saying he is gone, if I read my Bobby Mac foreshadowing correctly. Which team and what for is a mystery?

Maybe anticipating future contract issues and who knows maybe Drouin still wants out... Never know what goes on behind the scenes and the world knows about Drouins past

I cant see him going from despising the team so much that he abandons his teammates to all of a sudden loving life... There is something obviously still going on. IMO it woulf be smart trading him away. Also i cant see his past behaviour sitting well with his teammates

 

[Butchered]

What the hell is the obsession with trading this guy?

I'm sure he doesn't exactly feel butterflies for Cooper/TB at this point. It's probably best to just trade him and be done with it.

 

[FlameChampion]

When Bobby Mac says it, its likely true. Have to think that Drouin ruffled a few feathers in TB management.

 

[Maukkis]

I am afraid. Not that I am a fan of Tampa, or even Drouin, for that matter.

Watch Nashville somehow land him with Ellis or something and all of a sudden, the Central is even more stacked with talent.

Or, the other scenario which I, as a Jets fan, don't want to see happening.

 

[Sens With Benefits]

Ceci? Almost happened. His stock has gone down though.

 

[EdAVSfan]

It's like the ROR situation again.

I'm sure Yzerman doesn't want to overpay but maybe hes worried of an offer sheet.
I'm sure he'd rather dictate the return from a trade rather than draft picks only, or overpaying on a Drouin contract.

 

[Creativero]

These clowns are going to be in the basement in no time. They just can not manage relationships with young talented players.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

The face of Vegas Golden Knights... Draft day trade

 

[Butchered]

These clowns are going to be in the basement in no time. They just can not manage relationships with young talented players.

You're quite obsessed with TB failing, aren't you?

 

[KevinRedkey]

Wouldn't Montreal be interested in Johnson+Drouin? They need a C (TJ).

Galchenyuk and Sergachev are probably 2 pieces that would interest Tampa, depending.
