FWIW Dreger's take. Keep in mind he claims not to have read Francis' report and he also has a reputation to try and discredit other reports that don't originate from TSN.

The next few tweets relate to a convo on 1050 w/ Dreger about Gaudreau, which reference today's report... #Flames

Dreger noted that, of course, "You're not going to get anyone from #Flames' management to verify" the potential Gaudreau numbers reported.

Dreger: "The reaction I got from some I trust there is that's not entirely accurate. But just leave it at 'This kid wants big cake.'"#Flames

Dreger/Gaudreau: "So it sounds like that's probably in the stratosphere. It's in the ballpark." #Flames

FWIW: Dreger hadn't had a chance to read Sun report yet. 1050 guys told him ask was $8M. Report actually says '$8-million range.'
