Oh dear lord. Now he's just throwing s*** at the wall and hoping it sticks.
Basically what Dreger does is it not

In the NHL Salary Cap world you need to build through the draft, then when you are on the verge on competing you acquire players to put your over the top, then and only then do you bring in players that you have no drafted.

Not to the same extent as Eklund.
When Lindros was traded he was making 8.5 million...
This is just getting Pejorative Slured now. The piling on Phil is just too much
Calm down with the Dreger hate. He calls a lot of stuff dating back for years. His track record is fantastic which is a big reason why he is where he is. He can be wrong about certain things but if he says something, there's probably some truth to it.
Just because the Leafs haven't done a trade for your precious mental state and impatience, it doesn't mean there isn't a ton of talk in the backgrounds with Dreger reporting what he knows.
The dead line isn't for another 3 weeks. Lot's and lot's and lot's of time for things to unfold. Dreger, along with every other insider, will be talking a lot about developments.
Is this your first NHL Trade Deadline?

Nabokov traded back to Sharks for future consideration from Tampa Bay.
Maybe, they(lighting) are close to making a play for Franson?
To be fair, Dreger hasn't exactly been as reliable these last few years. He's become much more of a rumor monger than a credible reporter of source info. He's not Eklund bad, but he's certainly no longer near the level Bobby Mac or Elliote Friedman are in my opinion.
But yeah people are starting to freak out a little. It might be necessary to pull back a little lol
the original conversation was about the Lindros trade from Quebec to Philly ...in regards to me being willing to give up the entire Leafs org for McDavid
Bernier for Draisaitl?
What about Bernier for Yakupov + Klefbom?
I would think on that...

Then try to pry Jones from LA somehow.
Not a friggin chance.
What a horrible proposal.
Be embarassed.

I don't disagree that McKenzie and Friedman are top notch, but even Friedman in his 30 thoughts will speculate A LOT and most of it is just fodder speculation.
Dreger reports on the Leafs a lot more then any other insider. It feels like he's the dedicated Leafs insider at TSN, which is why he gets a lot of hate from Leaf fans.
McKenzie rarely ever speculates though, and his opinion is always neutral without any big opinions, which is why he rarely ever gets caught with his pants down. But it has happened.
Anyway, I just find it odd that people are all ready frustrated at the lack of trades despite having another 3 weeks to potentially wait. Sheesh...

Shouldn't be moving Bernier at all. Even in a rebuild, you need goaltending to give your youth a chance to win. Otherwise, you're the Oilers. We have no top goaltending prospects, Bibeau is okay but we have no Vasilevski or Gibson.
