I can always count on a coworker from out east, diehard Habs fan who's a legit fan of the game and always has intelligent and unbiased views on every team (little homerism towards Montreal, especially Price and Gallagher). His second/western team is the Oilers, and I walked up as he was trying to explain to one of the many Oil "fans" we work with the importance playing both ends of the ice, and how re-signing a dman like Petry to that contract gave Montreal tons of stability, and also how shocked he was that Edmonton still can't seem to put the idea of building s balanced roster together.. But the Reinhart acquisition was a "step in the right direction given who was available", and the "improved blue lines" of the Oil and Habs should make adding that "last piece or two" to put them over the top in their respective conferences a breeze as free agents keep tabs on teams actively trying to win.
I dropped the "sort of like the Hamilton trade, and sticking to our commitment to rebuild by selling off assets that weren't in our long term plans at the last trade deadline even though a lot of teams would buckle and go all in for it".

He shook his head and told me Gio would walk and sign in Toronto for a 7x5m retirement contract .. I may have hit a nerve there
