Would Gorton offer Steve Yzerman rookie Dylan McIlrath and a first-round pick for Jonathan Drouin? Would the Tampa Bay GM accept it? Yzerman reportedly wants a young, right-handed defenseman, and he is trying to trade Drouin, 20, the 2013 third-overall pick, following the uber-talented winger's public trade request and subsequent suspension for refusing to show up to an AHL game. McIlrath (UFA on July 1, $600,000 cap hit) makes a good first pass, has a strong shot, plays responsibly in his own end and has a mean streak. But since Vigneault insists on playing Boyle over him, the Rangers might as well trade him while he has value. Sather has given Yzerman enough first-rounders already, but Gorton could justify it in a deal for Drouin. It would be like the Rangers' signing of Hayes, a former Chicago first-round pick who never inked with the Blackhawks — another way of finding the first-round talent they couldn't draft.
