It is really remarkable how the Reinhart trade has crippled the Oilers. A terrible trade made worse by the 'what if' had they kept it with Barzal/Chabot/Connor, losing him for nothing (though that's all he was worth). It took away a golden asset and threw it away, and they've been trying to make up for it since.
I was trying to see how much was OBC in pushing for Reinhart, or seeing if any of the scouts were still around, and this videopopped up, which I think is pretty funny considering the closing in it, and then watched his most recent video which was just ripping into all the moves Chiapet has made.
It's a deal they've been trying to make up for since it was made. I suppose the only thing that makes the trade funnier is that if they hadn't made it, they would have taken Svechnikov or Eriksson-Ek so they still wouldn't be any better.
