Chris Nichols of FRS Hockey: Darren Dreger was on TSN 1050 talking about 35-year old free agent Ilya Kovalchuk. Kovalchuk is able to meet with teams now and visited the Los Angeles Kings and San Jose Sharks over the weekend. Teams remain skeptical of him.
Dreger was asked if the Toronto Maple Leafs would have any interest and Dreger said he’d be surprised if they have a whole lot. They could be more realistic as to where they are as a team in relation to being a legit Stanley Cup team. Dreger continues that the Leafs were basically beaten by one line of the Bruins in the first-round.
