It brings me happiness to see Drouin still with the Bolts. That kid drives me nuts. He played his hand very poorly in my opinion. He is getting what he deserves right now.
Both sides played it poorly. If TB does not go way deep in the playoffs and Stamkos walks away, Yzerman will and should be criticized a ton. Drouin should have been playing with Stamkos all season and would have been fine IMO.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
My guess is that Yzerman would have traded him if he received an offer that improved his team. I'm also guessing that offer didn't happen, which is why he's still a Bolt. I'd be very surprised if Yzerman didn't listen to offers or try to negotiate deals. Not sure what else Yzerman could do.
I'd like to know what was really going on over the past few days. Was there a lot of interest/offers, or was that a lot of b.s.? Did Yzerman really intend to move Drouin at the deadline, or was he just saying that?
I wonder if there was a poison pill in the deal, such as "if you want Drouin, you also have to take Carle".
RETIRED
My guess is a lot of teams that are interested didn't want to trade their first rounders until they know where it is. Ie- Montreal, Ottawa, Vancouver, etc. Especially with the way the lottery system has been changed this season where three teams can win the lottery, it doesn't make sense for those teams to trade those picks yet. Big difference for those teams if they are choosing third or 10th.

Hopefully this is something that happens, for all involved.Steve Yzerman said the door is open for Drouin to come back and play this year

100% agree. This is the smartest play for Drouin. Publicly thank Yzerman for attempting to trade him. Inform everyone that he accepts Yzerman's invitation to go back to work. Then.... actually gets to work properly. If you can destroy the AHL, then you deserve a better shot at the NHL. End of. Happily ever after for all.
