I don't pay attention to rumors especially anything related to the Habs. I believe that if the Habs remain in the top of the standings by trade deadline, MB will try and trade for an impact player.
A Staal would be great, however not sure MB would be willing to take on a cap hit that of Staal's. ROR would be a nice addition as well, but at what price?

I don't see us acquiring anybody that will cost an arm and a leg.
Possible Targets:
Jiri Tlusty
Antoine Vermette
Lauri Korpikoski
Chris Stewart
I hope I'm wrong, just a gut feeling. I personally think we're in a position to trade a prospect or 2 for a legitimate scoring threat to take the load off of Max.
Would love to see Sharp, Marleau or Oshie. I justr don't see it happening

Hell no. Galchenyuk is on pace for 50 points in his 3rd season and turns 21 in a couple of weeks.
And where's this rumour the Oilers would consider moving their 1st round pick anyways?
The team tweeted it as a quote from MacTavish. And if Galchenyuk is going to be on the wing it might be worth looking at moving him with a good chance at getting a franchise centreman back.
It's a massive risk and would take stones the size of a bowling alley to do, but that's the kind of thing that can make you legendary. Dunno, just a discussion point.
Maybe he didn't mean the 1st round pick and meant 2nd and 3rd, but it sure sounds like he does.

You'd have to have Timmins involved in that discussion.
I won't pretend to know anything about this upcoming prospect pool aside from McDavid and Eickel.
But if Timmins thinks he could draft a better player then Galchenyuk in the top 5 it is something to consider.

No, because it will take 3 years of Therrien turning them into responsible players.

Not sure they would, their 1st this year could see a generational talent, and their 1st next year could most probably be a high one yet again, plus Draisaitl is a top prospect. While Galchenyuk would help them greatly, Tinordi is not the difference maker for all of that.
Anyway, even though getting McEichel would potentially put us over the top, I'd be wary of trading Chucky...

I would not. Too much risk that Edmonton gets their **** together and draft between 5 and 10.

Hopefully its a deal nobody expects. Trades out of left field seem more MB style anyways
Oshie for Eller + Min 2016 2nd
Jurco for Thomas + Pateryn
Jagr + Larsson for Parenteau + Tinordi + Andrighetto + 2015 2nd

I would but edm would not.
Every year the team drafting first says they are willing to trade the pick. Realistically it almost never happen. Teams say that to keep the door open but they want other teams to overpay. Kind of like that totally unrealistic draft day football movie with Kevin Costner.

As for the Oilers I seem to recall them doing this every year, and then never making a deal anyways. They need to clean house!!!
