When he was on a few weeks ago, he said that he had a guy and Treliving had a guy and they'd be ecstatic if they could get either of them.
I wonder if Brad's guy was Ekblad or Reinhart? My guess is he wanted Ekblad, which would fit with the rumour that they had a trade in place to swap picks with Buffalo if Florida had traded #1 and the team who got it had taken Reinhart. The Flames would have then taken Ekblad, the Oilers would have still taken Draisaitl and Buffalo would have ended up with Bennett plus whatever the Flames gave up to make the swap.
