In my opinion dollars and cents mean more to agents and GMs than what they think of the guy across the table.
Why is rebuild always preceded by 'Oilers style' in Calgary? I think he meant a 'dozens of professional sports franchises in North America in the last 20 years' style rebuild. Where you move out depreciating assets for appreciating assets with the intent of sustaining short-term pain to foster long-term gain.

Because nobody outside some Flames fans in denial believe that what this franchise has been doing for the last couple years is any kind of a rebuild.
