Phil Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Might we see Jonathan Drouin included as part of what could be a fairly epic summer of trade activity around the National Hockey League? Drouin is one of three central restricted free agents for the Tampa Bay Lighting, a team sporting somewhere in the range of $18 million of cap space with which to work. Tyler Johnson and Ondrej Palat are the other two key players needing their next contracts. ?They won?t be as historical as they were last year,? countered McKenzie. ?We had P.K. Subban, Stamkos, and (Taylor Hall) ? I?m not sure we?ll rival that necessarily. ?But I understand what Pierre is saying and I tend to agree with him. I?ve been on record for awhile as saying ? and not reporting this as news, strictly an opinion ? I think it?s more likely than not Jonathan Drouin gets traded at some point because of economics and because of the specific needs of the Tampa Bay Lighting. No guarantee he will, but I won?t be surprised if he is. ?And there are teams that do have to do some expansion draft manoeuvring. So there?ll be a lot of things percolating. https://www.fanragsports.com/nhl/mckenzie-economics-lightning-needs-might-produce-drouin-trade/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Lothbrok Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 This is why I wanted him when he first requested a trade. The time was then to get a great price on a super talent. Another swing and miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodka Drunkenski Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I don't know if it was a swing and miss, I don't think Tampa had true intent of actually trading him on the cheap #MakeBSBHGreatAgain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
