Too many media personalities and blogs this summer have been quick to jump on the idea Tampa Bay is shopping or is willing to trade RW Jonathan Drouin. It's been that way since the playoffs when Drouin was being scratched from games (and someone behind the curtain did what they could to get the media to ramp up coverage of the story travesty).
Drouin's a part of the organization and the Lightning has wanted him to develop a full game. That doesn't make him an expendable asset because of a slow first season at the NHL level in the process.
