By now I’m sure you have seen news about this, but Darren Dreger dropped a bit of a bombshell yesterday on Edmonton radio.
Senators fans don’t need any more bad news these days, but unfortunately Dreger’s tidbit was just salt in the wound during this miserable season. According to him, back in the summer of 2016, a Taylor Hall for Cody Ceci trade almost happened before the Edmonton Oilers got Adam Larsson instead:
“And these two clubs came real close to making a pretty big trade not that long ago and just couldn’t get it done, and that trade was Taylor Hall for I think they finally got to a place where Ottawa was willing to consider Cody Ceci – so it would have been Hall for Ceci – but had to be cleared in Ottawa through ownership.
