In exchange for Drouin, the Bolts got defenseman Mikhail Sergachev and a conditional second round 2018 draft pick.
Drouin was Tampa Bay's second leading goal scorer last season with 21 and also logged 32 assists.
The left-handed shooter was Tampa Bay's first round pick (third overall) in the 2013 NHL draft.
Sergachev is just 18 years old and skated in four games for Montreal last year after making his NHL debut last season.
Sergachev was the 9th overall pick last year for the #Habs. He was rated as the top prospect in Montreal's organization. https://t.co/WLsOUZvB8J
