Dreger: Sense is Jets, Blues not "shopping anyone of any significance”
/Darren Dreger was on Winnipeg’s TSN 1290 on Wednesday afternoon.
On which players on the Winnipeg Jets might be more likely to be moved in a trade:
“No, not really. I mean, we can identify certain individuals and wonder and speculate, but that’s all it is.
“It’s not just Winnipeg. I touched on this last night on TSN with our Insider Trading segment. There’s a lot of talk around the St. Louis Blues, as an example. Is Patrik Berglund going to get traded. Is T.J. Oshie a player who might be available. Alex Steen’s name, for heaven’s sake, has popped up as potential trade fodder.
“But I had a brief chat with Doug Armstrong coming out of the Board of Governors meetings and he said, ‘Look, we like our team right now.’
“You never say never. If somebody approaches Cheveldayoff or approaches Doug Armstrong with a specific need and a player in mind, and is willing to pay a price that makes sense, then those players are absolutely available. But I don’t get the sense out of Winnipeg, nor do I get the sense out of St. Louis, that they’re shopping anyone of any significance.”
