Lightning announce Jonathan Drouin back to junior. Too many people will look at it as a failure, but long-term thinking is never bad.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have sent Jonathan Drouin back to
junior.
The Lightning announced this afternoon that the third
overall pick in the 2013 NHL Draft has been reassigned to the Halifax
Mooseheads of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League where he will produce an
unreal amount of points and destroy a number of opposing team.
Drouin recorded 41 goals and 105 points in just 49 games
with the Mooseheads last year. He also had four points in six games with Team
Canada at the world juniors.
Obviously this is huge news for Halifax. Although they
still lost plenty of other pieces from last year’s Memorial Cup winning team,
having Drouin in their lineup is a game changer. Or, y'know, they could trade him at Christmas and get a massive return. This is also big news for Canada’s
world junior team.
The Mooseheads play in Saint John on Tuesday night but
Stephane Leroux of RDS tweets that his first game of the season will be Friday
in Sherbrooke.
