The asking price will be high if the Senators want disgruntled Tampa Bay Lightning winger Jonathan Drouin.

While the 20-year-old forward’s holdout hit day three as he waits for the Bolts to satisfy his demand for a trade, a league source told Postmedia Friday if the Senators want to acquire Drouin the asking price by Tampa GM Steve Yzerman would be two top prospects — including 2015 No. 1 pick defenceman Thomas Chabot.

It’s fair to say the Senators have zero interest in getting involved in those kinds of talks and the reality is Yzerman has no interest in trading Drouin in the East anyway, unless he’s able to get a massive return. There were reports last week that the Lightning was seeking defenceman Cody Ceci.

Chabot, 18, was one of the club’s two first-round picks in last year’s NHL entry draft in Fort Lauderdale and has had a standout season. Chabot has been one of the top players in the QMJHL with the Saint John Ice Dogs.

Chabot who played at the world junior championship, is considered to be sure-fire NHLer and it wouldn’t make sense to give up one — or two prospects — for Drouin, who was the No. 3 pick in 2013. Yzerman told reporters Thursday the club isn’t just going to give him away because he wants out.

“Our attention and plan is to continue to seek a trade that helps us. That’s where I am right now,” Yzerman said.

That help could involve a heavy price.
