I don't think a NYSE listing is an immediate necessity for Strathcona. They'll get Greenfire whenever they want, they can starve out retail there and swoop in at their leisure. I think whether Strathcona gets MEG will mark a very important shift in the company. If they do get MEG, they will probably end up consolidating many of the smaller guys in the oil sands and heavy oil areas (Greenfire, Athabasca, maybe Cardinal, Headwater, Paramount's heavy oil acres, IPCO, etc.)
Then again if Cenovus gets MEG maybe Adam Waterous will go on with the strategy anyways and take out the second best, Athabasca.
