Expensive.
I do love the guy.
What did/will Rantanen get ?
6 years is nice.
Here’s the thing with Dreger though, the numbers he kept floating are essentially what happened. We just didn't like what he was suggesting, but he was pretty much bang on in the end.
You can say he was carrying water for the Marner camp, but look at the deal he ultimately signed for...I mean.
Just glad it’s over. Don’t even care right now about the contract
Dreger would literally be pleading for the Leafs to up their offer on air. His segments would be based around selling the idea Marner should get Matthews money.
No one was upset over the reporting of numbers. Other insiders did that and faced no backlash. Dreger was acting as a cheerleader.
It's really odd what upsets people.Dreger would literally be pleading for the Leafs to up their offer on air. His segments would be based around selling the idea Marner should get Matthews money.

Depends on what "team" is. They kept the big 4 and turned over a good chunk of the rest. The entire bottom 6 and half the D has changed. Most of that was cap driven. I think we're better today because of the moves, but it did cost us some assets."How can they afford keep this team together?"
"We can and we will"
We did.
Dreger lost his sources, his new sources are the agents themselves, all the inside knows this. He is like a New Port Sports shill.
It's funny were now talking about a 20 man roster when 22-23 was expected with him making ~10m.If we have to trade kapanen or johnsson or kerfoot because of marner asking for that extra bit.....screw him. Because most hated on the team.
We cant run a 20 man roster. The only thing you can do now is trade ceci once dermott ia back. But then you are trusting dermott into a top pair after injury.
This extra bit that marner HAD to get is a joke. I slept on it and I hate how its gonna screw over our team. I bet our guys are pissed at him for forcing the leafs to trade a quality player now.
How do we know offer sheets weren’t presented and the Marner camp didn’t want to go that route? There was talk of offers being floated. Look, I’ve never been on the offer sheet bandwagon, but the bottom line is all these numbers Dreger floated have turned out to be pretty much bang on to what the deal looks like today. We got angry because it seemed ridiculous, and yet here we sit today.@DarkKnight
Thread closed sorry.
It’s not that he got the numbers it’s the shilling as I said int he post you replied too. He was very clearly only getting that info because he was presenting marners case to the public. He also said there were offersheets in the teens on their way l, where are those? Clearly a tactic by Ferris to put the pressure on.
It makes me happy Friedman beat him to the “scoop”
