commence lowering expectations

So negative... Maybe 'we're' doing the bending this time...

I would very much doubt that.

Good value?

What's the value of a $6M winger who scores 0 goals in 13 playoff games?

I know the value of a top 6 winger good for 20 goals every year, even in his worst year. It's more than we're going to get.

The fans wanted him gone and they're going to get their wish and watch as the cap space made by this deal goes to Kris Russell or someone of lesser skill than Eberle.

This is the reality, but people want us to drag Eberle along until he busts out of his slump. Maybe he just doesn't fit here anymore.

hope you at least get a reach around.

 

[Paralyzer008]

Oh boy, this is going to suck.

Remember, cap space is super valuable. If we can get strome and a second plus cap space we win

I wished he had done better, but I think Ebs had some responsibility here too.

tough to swallow if it is indeed strome.. no idea how he fits the ChiaPete mold

 

[Wheathead]

This.

Oh no, we must give him another chance to show that he is clutch in big games like he was when he played in a tournament for teenagers damn near 10 years ago.

Will be sad if we get schooled by a team that didn't make the playoffs last year and may not be able to sign their star player.

I really hope Chia's plan for next season isn't to have Slepyshev, Kassian, or Drake in the top 6. Because that's going backwards.

to me, I am realistic about Eberle, but this is a bummer. I would have liked him to retire an Oiler, just like Hall. This team changes so fast now.

 

[Seachd]

Straight up I guess?

Fixed that for you bud.

Eberle for Strome isn't going to part that pisses me off.

It's how they want to use that cap space.

Yep. Got lots of love for the player. Needs a change of scenery and a wake up. Apparently his BFF being traded and 13 playoff games didn't do it.

I've been a huge Eberle supporter the last two seasons. But you can't draw blood from a stone.

 

[Deplorable Lenny]

wow 1 for 1 stroke for Eberle

 

[Hopelesslucicfan]

God awful trade

ABSOLUTELY... And does nothing else to go with those 0 goals. Buh Bye. Time to get off the train. Do your coasting in NY Jordan. Build this team around dedicated guys who will go to the wall with McD etc....

 

[dustrock]

For Strome straight up. Of course, as has been painted in dayglo for weeks.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

yup Strome...underwhelming but fitting

 

[Forgot About Drai]

Are you ****ing kidding me???
