Dreger though is piggybacking off of McKenzie timing wise, as he has his whole career, and trying to spin his click bait opinion into fact...and likely had to check to see if Hamonic was a UFA this July 1 before he made his comment and dramatized his words into something that just is pure garbage. Classic Dreger to whip up something that isn’t there and have suckers misconstrue it.

His value to TSN is he knows someone at the league office that can tip him to trade calls or transactions before anyone else. Exhibit 1a, see the Jokinen to Flames years back.

As a result, very few respected agents or managers trust him with anything info wise, as he’ll sell those guys out as quick as he can to get a scoop...so for his insider Bs, not unlike Eklund he has to create something out of nothing, and hope people bite, to keep him relevant most of the time.

So nothing new or ground breaking here for any team that’s in a 5 g slump. Leafs are having the same. The Kadri trade is being reexamined in Toronto, Babcock is getting questioned for the first time etc.

This post just nails it on Darren Dreklund. 100% truth bomb. The guy is an outsider.
