Oilers Untouchables. #4

[Mcnotloilersfan]

We know we have holes on this team that can be filled by making some painful trades. All of our top assets have been given arguments as to why they shouldn't be moved.

I'd like to know which players/prospects you would want to keep here the most. I'm going to do a poll every day.

Vote for who you want to keep the most on this team. I'm keeping McDavid off this list, as he is a no-brainer #1 (and we don't have him yet).

If you think another name should be on this list, please let me know.

Winner For 3rd Most untouchable Player is Darnell Nurse. Who is Next!? Now it should get interesting!




1. Taylor Hall - 52.30%



2. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins - 82.30%



3. Darnell Nurse - 54.24%

At this point, I'm okay with trading any of these players if it means the right upgrade on our back end. In terms of us winning games next year, I want to see Eberle play a huge role.

He looked great under Nelson and Mclellan, became the player we all knew he could be. He talked at the end of last season about the lack of secondary scoring. Let's see what he can do when a Hall-McDavid-Yak line can take the pressure off him and Nuge,

 

[Crabapple]

Voted Klefbom. Can you imagine our D without him? If he takes a step back this year we're hooped

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

ya after RNH and Hall, I'd trade anyone on the team if it makes us better today

voted Klefbom again

 

[Canovin]

If Schultz is in, Lander should also.

 

[oilers4life5]

Could not disagree with the voting more, Klef should not be above Dri,Ebs or Yak.

Please add Yakimov

 

[AUAIOMRN]

After the first three and The McSsiah I don't think there are any real "untouchables". I voted Eberle for sentimental reasons.

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

I'll add Lander and Yakimov if you guys wont. I was more focused on guys who were either once considered core pieces, or drafted to be.

I would trade Klef in a deal for a legit #1 guy. But we would benefit far more by trading someone up front to add to Klef on the back end.

 

[LTIR]

Gotta go with Ebs.. He could be leading the team in goals for the next 5 seasons.
clear #1 RW on the team right now.

Klefbom is a good choice aswell but has ways to go before being considered an untouchable. Drai vs Klef should be an interesting debate. Ebs will be on a different level for atleast the next 3 yrs.

 

[McDrai]

I voted Ebs
The most underrated oiler imo

 

[Faelko]

Gotta be Eberle, without him our RW depth is terrible

voted Klefbom again

This is how I feel as well

But I voted Eberle

 

[GMofOilers]

Im certainly not as high on Klef as the rest of this board. I seen a player that started the year off alright, then his play really tapered off the bit of the season.

If we could move Klef right now for a Hamhuis I would do it in a heartbeat.

Hahmuis is 32 with 1 year remaining on a $4.5M contract. I'm sure he's going to get a similar next contract. Moving Klef for him now would be a mistake IMO.

Yeah I was more thinking or ranking players. They would for sure not be on the untouchable list, Schultz should not be on the list either.

 

[phrenssoa]

Voting for Ebs again. I'm not as high on Klefbom as most people.

I can see your point contract wise...... Take the contract part out and its and no brainer for me.

 

[Jeff Lebowski]

I think the untouchables list has been exhausted already. A team that finishes in the bottom 5 every year shouldn't have any untouchables.

Yeah by now it's a "best Oilers" poll

Same here.

 

[Horseradish]

After 3-4 "untouchables," there should be an option for nobody.

Klefbom, Draisaitl, and Eberle are close to it. But there are deals for each of them I would consider. Klefbom is probably the least touchable though.

 

[ponokanocker]

Looking at the team needs, there is no way we can lose Klefbom unless it is for an upgrade. The forward's are very deep so losing an Eberle, the better player right now, would hurt, but we already have some players to fill his points.

 

[McGoMcD]

Went with Klef, I had him ahead of Nurse. He plays with so much poise, really going to be a huge asset this year. Drai is close as well. Ebs, love the guy, but I think he will come in under those guys.

 

[Smartguy]

Voted ebs, he is sometimes the whipping boy here but he puts up good point totals and is a solid top 6 skilled complimentary player. I'm a huge Klef supporter but I'm not sold on the fact he's gonna be as good as we want him to be yet, time will tell
