They want a centre, they want to get better defensively, they want to get better in nets and they could use some puck movement from the back end
I'm not saying it's a slamdunk, I'm saying it's a starting point
Lazar+Lehner+1st falls under the "not even close" category.
...
So Lazar+Lehner+1st? Add Turris and we can start talking. And I'm not even remotely joking. Taylor Hall isn't getting traded for prospects, picks and projects.
Must be some sort of irrational fan bias I'm feeling but I don't want anything to do with Edmonton's first liners.
I don't have any good stats or arguments to back up this statement. I just can't stand any of them.
Would anyone do Lehner, Cowen and a 2nd for Eberle? Seems like that caught the ear of a few over there.

Oiler fans make Leaf fans look knowledgeable when it comes to trading.

Hall would be outstanding man. Literally the perfect piece left for Sens to be a top flight team(and Zibanejad progressing)
Having Hall/Ryan/Hoffman/MacArthur/Stone/Chiasson as your top 9 wingers is spectacular.
Trading Lazar would suck like crazy cause he's the type of players you win cups with but I think Ottawa has the heart depth in guys like Mac, Stone, Pageau to compensate for it.
Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if Murray keeps Lazar and deals: Stone/Hoffman+Lehner+1st
What we truly need is a #1 center. RNH should be targeted first if we deal with Edmonton. Turris isn't the right guy to center guys like Eberle and Hall. Neither is Zibby.
Not sure we have the assets necessary to get the Nuge though.

So it's not just me then. I know how fans over value their players as it happens a lot on our own boards, but looking at the responses from some on the Oilers side thinking they could get all of Lehner, Ceci, Lazar and a high pick for Hall seemed a little too far fetched.
Everyone overvalues their players. Just look at that Dallas trade for a defenseman thread on the main boards. Full of Leaf fans overvaluing Phaneuf.
It is why i don't take the trade board seriously and is why i generally stay away from threads that have to do with Ottawa. I haven't even stepped foot into that hall to sens thread on the main board being that i already know what is going on it it without even looking.
Everyone thinks they know what the value is of their players when they don't. Only the gm and his staff knows what the value is of their players.
If there is any possible way of trading for Hall without moving Lazar id do it. Lehner Chiasson and 1st as the three main pieces is what I would do. Can add to that. Need to get rid of Greening and Legwand and others.
Trade for Hall and pick up Richards for next season:
Hall-Zibby-Ryan
Mac-Turris-Stone
Hoff-Richards-Lazar
Paul-Pageau-Neil
You dont need a true 70+ point center if you got a winger like Hall imo. Just play him with a good defensive, good at faceoffs and at least a 50 point center and we're fine.
Playing Hall with 2nd liners is like playing EK with Cowen. You need your elite players to play with other players of the same caliber, otherwise it seems wasteful to limit their talent and potential.

Lol "spawn" said the oilers aren't doing picks and projects ....
They just traded perron for a first. That team is ONLY doing projects. Not to mention they're about to draft first overall again. I
