That doesn't mean a lot as I'm sure over half the league called the Jackets to inquire about the possibility. We all know Treliving is a tireless worker and leaves no stones unturned so I would imagine he kicks the tires on any big player that is possibly available for trade. The fact that he couldn't get a deal done is telling that the Flames either didn't have what the Jackets wanted or his interest wasn't enough to pull off the trade.
I have absolutely no doubt he's spoken with Yzerman about Druin but I'm sure if a deal was to be made it would be made.
