NHL Rumors: Tampa Bay Lightning – To Trade Or Not To Trade Jonathan Drouin

Martin Fennelly of the Tampa Bay Times: Looking at why the Tampa Bay Lightning should keep forward Jonathan Drouin.

Though he could help land them the defensive help they need, the Lightning should keep RFA winger Jonathan Drouin.

It will be hard for the Lightning to re-sign RFAs Drouin, Ondrej Palat and Tyler Johnson. They will likely have to trade someone, and that should be Johnson.

Drouin is too talented to trade for a No. 3 or No. 4 defenseman. The 22-year old scored 21 goals season while adding 32 assists.
