Darren Dreger?
"The Canadiens are poised to make their pick at 5th overall; they are exploring moving up or down but if they don't like the trade options, expect them to stick and pick"
In terms of empty content, Dreger can have anyone beat however his segments tend to be short and intermittent when compared to Ward who rambles on from 25-30 mins weekdays on 690. Five days of Ward saying mostly nothing and drawing from his time in the NHL as his go-to rebuttals and arguments.
He occasionally offers interesting anecdotes but they too get old the more you listen. He’d be fun at a bar but as a hockey pundit, I don’t get the sense that there is a whole lot of prep going into his segments. Guy has the gift of gab, if only he’d put it to better use. Seems like he’s content just doing the bare minimum.
Speaking of bare minimum, I have not listened to 690´s morning show in a long time until doing so this morning. Starr and McKenna are just not compelling as hosts — I thought they’d get better over time but instead, they’re still churning the same type of material and sounding boring.
Meantime, Paul Houde and Gilbert Delorme airing during the same time slot, are more entertaining and generally feature great guests (save for Reggie the Ethnophobe).
