How about you put down the Names I put down next to the ones you think are equivalent not even close.
all 3 of Eberle, Purcell, Nitkanen don't = Jvr and Phanuef... Not the same not even close and you know it.
A top line winger for a top line winger is a hockey trade. That's there. A top pairing D men signed with term, a goalie to fill a need, a depth player to fill a need for a top prospect and a late first is an overpayment from the Leafs thank you very much.
You are out of your mind... I did it twice.
Hall is better than Kessel ...younger and scores the same
Eberle is younger and has outscored JVR every season they have been in the NHL, so, no clue how you undervalue him vs JVR ...all JVR has on Eberle is height
Purcell is as valuable as Bozak
Nikitin is Not as good as Phaneuf ...but makes 2.5 less And is on a short term
Scrivens and Reimer have similar value... Scrivens playing ahead of Reimer in the WCs when it counted says a lot
Draisaitl was picked 5 spots before Nylander
The Pitt pick is better than the Nas pick
...so, other than Phaneuf, the Oilers players are all at least as good, or superior.
Is that clear enough yet?
...mind you, you never said if you would make the deal, with the more valuable Oiler pieces though did you? Although you would expect the Oilers to take the Leafs offer.
