I kinda want to ship noted reformed douchebags Drouin and Patrik Laine.

I hope Drouin doesn't still want to be traded, lol. That would really be a bubble burster.

Looks like he wants to stay now.

Makes sense, since he eventually got what he wanted: more playing time and better linemates.

I still don't understand how that situation turned into the shitshow it did in the first place. /not a Lightning fan, but the way this escalated was weird to see. Glad it seems to be in the past now, he looked dangerous and like a stud all playoffs long!

It was nice to see Cooper have so much confidence in him these playoffs. Part of it was definitely needing more offense with Stamkos out but i think even if Stamkos doesn't leave he'll still be getting top line minutes next year. He showed he deserved them.

I'd worry about what happens if he screws up or goes on a cold streak. Does he earn his minutes back? Does Cooper keep him on a shorter leash than usual?

I am reminded a little of Martin St. Louis. The Olympics snub was the straw that broke the camel's back, but the foundations of his bad feelings over being underappreciated was laid years ago.

Yeah I get that. My speculation was that it was more about effort/attitude than anything. He wasn't improving and wasn't trying to, so he didn't get the minutes he felt he deserved and got sent down. He was clearly playing his heart out these playoffs but if he keeps that up even a little bit I think he'll be fine. I get the sense that both him and the team are eager to just move on.
