On the contrary, the Quebec forward really wants to play. The team doctors (of the CH) have warmly recommended him to have surgery right away, but he does not want to, not before exploring all options.
Drouin would like to be able to be tapped, and treated "temporarily" on a daily basis, so he can finish the season and play the last few games.
He is currently at home, due to close contact with someone positive for the virus, and that complicates the process.
