Good news whether he is traded or not. Shows that he still has some value. If he's traded for decent value, even better.

Vegas instead of picking a EDM plugger.

A consistant 50+ point winger in a league where scoring is down has more value than a "plugger" Thats why there are offers and not "Chiarelli actively shopping Eberle"

I'm guessing nothing happens until after the expansion draft.

I would seriously have to find another team to be a fan of.

It's been 50 years since your team has one a Stanley Cup and a trade is what would break you?

To Montreal please!!!

Of course he has value.

Don't let HFBoards fool you into thinking a 27-year old who can score around 60 points is worthless. Teams will be interested in this.

No, the Oilers arent interested in Beaulieu + scraps

Yes i believe so. Bertuzzi would have accomplished that as well.

 

[LMFAO]

To Montreal please!!!

Alright gimme Gallagher

Something around Martinez for Eberle?

Put away your lofty expectations, Oiler fans. I don't say that to mock--look at everyone's reaction to the Hall/Larsson swap and look how that turned out. You may very well get "hosed" in value for the deal but come out a better team, which is what it's all about.

You wont find a single edm fan that would trade Larsson to get Hall back

Definitely agree. I want Eberle out of Edmonton, but its not because he's not a good player because he is. He has his faults sure, but he is in the top half of scoring 1st line RWers in the league. The reason I want him gone from Edmonton is he doesn't really fit our play style anymore (cycle and speed is Edmonton's new identity), and we will need to have cheaper wingers with McD and Draisaitl down the middle and potentially Nuge sticking around. Eberle can still be a good piece even on a playoff team that can score 20-30 goals and put up 55-60 points. If anything I think the fact that he's only got 2 years left on his contract actually helps his value because he's not a long-term commitment and will likely be someone you could re-sign for cheaper after those 2 years are up if things work out.

If he was only a righty. Plus the Oilers have this weird curse that former Oilers 4th line pluggers light us up when they return so Eberle in the division is a no for me.

Last year the Oilers needed help on the backend; this year the Oilers need secondary scoring. So what are you proposing to address that?

yeah i know. initial reactions though...and the expectations leading up to the trade were really, really, really far off. But it worked out.

Not super familiar with Martinez game in recent years, but he puts up points and has decent size so I definitely would have interest. Care to give more of a breakdown on his game?

Dallas for the 3rd pick for Eberle Edmonton's 22nd pick, 4th round pick. That seems like an Oilers-ish thing to happen.

Who's Hall?

I don't see Dallas having any interest in this, but I'd be fine with it. Vilardi would be a great pick up for Edmonton. Again though, don't really see why Dallas does this.

Two 2017 2nds + Ryan Murphy from Carolina for Eberle (full salary)
