When Tampa Bay Lightning fans heard last night that Tampa Bay Lightning left wing Jonathan Drouin would be addressing the media this morning from Syracuse before the Syracuse Crunch’s optional skate, all kinds of questions came to mind. What would he have to say? Would he divulge the reason behind his trade request?
Unfortunately for fans, none of those questions were answered when Drouin spoke to the media this morning. In fact, Drouin’s meeting with the press in Syracuse was quite the opposite. Jonathan Drouin did not speak on the announcement made yesterday by his agent Allan Walsh regarding his recent trade request and basically refused to answer any questions on his relationship with Tampa Bay Lightning Head Coach Jon Cooper.
