## Resource

Montreal’s dream defenseman just got stolen by Edmonton—literally. The Canadiens were eyeing a 33-year-old shutdown blueliner with a right-handed shot and physical game, perfect for mentoring their young defense. But before free agency even opened, Edmonton swooped in with a five-year, $20.5M extension, locking him down and leaving Montreal scrambling. The Oilers got exactly what they needed: a steadying, gritty presence. For Montreal, it’s a gut-punch. Their GM now has to pivot fast and find a new veteran to fill that critical gap—before the market dries up. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
