Dreger: Bruins offered Spooner to Sabres for Stewart

Darren Dreger was on Toronto’s TSN 1050 on Tuesday evening.

On Chris Stewart:

“The Chris Stewart situation was an interesting one too.

“I mean, obviously Tim Murray overplayed his hand. He just did. And when there was absolutely no takers and the bell was about to ring at 3:00 Eastern, he went to a good friend in Chuck Fletcher and said, ‘Man, you’ve got to help me out. Give me something.’ And he got a second round pick in 2017.

“I know that Boston at one point, I believe, offered Spooner – who’s a pretty good player, I think. That wasn’t yesterday or recently. I think that’s awhile back and Buffalo rejected.

“So sometimes you overplay your hand and you get caught a bit.”
