Dreger was just on TSN 1200 in Ottawa, some interesting trade talk on the show
- talked about how Staios would like an upgrade in goal, not comfortable with Forsberg and Korpisalo.
- talked about how it is a “real thin” goaltending market
- spoke about how New Jersey is looking for a goalie. Said that Toronto is looking for a goalie because they are not comfortable with Woll being able to handle the entire mail yet.
-spoke about how Nashville thinks they will re-sign Saros, talked about how Saros agent thinks he will re-sign in Nashville.
- spoke about how Ullmark does not want to leave Boston, how he made that clear at the deadline and about how the 15 team NTC will give Ullmark some control on destination and potentially take out teams that need a goalie.
- listed the teams that are probably looking right now - Ottawa, New Jersey, Toronto, LA, Colorado, Carolina.
- spoke about how there is a lot of nervousness around the league about Gibson, term and contract amount.
- spoke about how the Oilers got down the road on Binnington and that he could be in the market
- ended talking about Markstrom, said New Jersey is circling back and that it may take the 10th overall pick to get it done.
- spoke about Necas too, half the league has inquired, thought Montreal had the inside track. Interestingly he talked about how the Hurricanes do not really want to move him but it is a situation of the family (dad) meddling that is driving the situation.

Lots of speculation in Ottawa about getting a goalie and a RD. Feels like they are feeling the pressure from the Tkachuk camp to make Ottawa better immediately.

Sounded like Dreger thought there were 6 teams looking for an upgrade in net and 2 to 3 goalies possibly available that would meet that need.
