The relationship between wing Jonathan Drouin and the Lightning seemingly has been salvaged.
Drouin, 21, who requested a trade in November before a six-week holdout, indicated that demand is off the table, saying he expects to be back in Tampa Bay next season and beyond.
"I definitley want to be here," Drouin said. "I love the way this ended, I guess with this different and weird year. But the way this finished and it's definitely somewhere I want to play."
Drouin, who returned to AHL Syracuse after the Feb. 29 trade deadline passed, was one of the biggest stars in the postseason, with five goals and nine assists in 17 games.
