Rumour: Eberle &Nugent Hopkins to NYR for M.Staal, 1st and Nash. Tough deal to take on Nash 7.8 mill contract x 2. #Oilers #NYR #NHL



I don't know this guy, but it says he's the co-Founder/owner of M&A Sports Media, Host of The Trevor Airdrie Show. Formerly w/ TML, NHL, Corus Toronto, CHUM FM and UCL.


Anyone know if this guy is legit?


If I'm the Rangers, I do it even though it would mean another first rounder down the toilet.

Nash no Canada.

Oilers have no interest in a 1st round pick. We're looking to build a team that can compete right now. We're not degrading our team for picks. This rumor is ridiculous, IMO. Would be god-awful for the Oilers.

 

[Dominator13]

No way can the Rangers afford to lose yet another 1st round pick.

 

[Marlander93]

Wow that would be an awful trade for the Oilers.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

That'd be a terrible deal for Edmonton IMO. Why would we be pushing for Staal when we have Klefbom and Sekera in our top 4 on LD?

 

[Empoleon8771]

That's a comically bad deal for the Oilers, what the hell?

 

[FLYLine27*]

Already confirmed Nash won't waive to any Canadian team.

Moving those contracts would be huge for them. Worth a 1st considering the return.

I don't see the Oilers doing this.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

What?

 

[s7ark]

Terrible deal and Nash won't play in Canada. Bunk rumour imo

In this scenario, it seems like a 1st round pick would just be currency to even out the trade since Nash/Staal for RNH/Eberle would be extremely one sided.

I don't get why EDM would want a LD on Staal's contract. Hasn't he slowed down or something?

I get them moving out guys like RNH and Eberle at a low price. The new management has had a year to evaluate them, and do they really want to keep around a core of tainted losers just to wait for the best value? Not saying the Hall trade wasn't crazy though.

Staal and a 1st do absolutely nothing for Edmonton.

Nash is a player for player upgrade on Eberle but he is a worse fit for the roster makeup.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

1.Awful for Edmonton
2.Nash won't play in Canada.

Yeah not happening Eberle and RNH together have far better value then a over priced Staal and what part of Nash saying that he wont waive for any Canadian team isn't getting through this is pretty bad for Edmonton. And i can't see Chiarelli doing this.

 

[WesMcCauley]

Nash could help them alot with his great twoway game but that trade is horrible for Edm.

You never know, Chia traded an elite winger for a #4 defensemen. Wouldnt be surprised if he makes another trade for a defensemen out of desperation because thats excatly what the Hall trade was. A desperation trade.

 

[Taytro]

You're giving Edmonton 3 pieces that they don't want and taking 2 pieces they do want... Marc Stall is useless on Edmonton, a 1st is not what they need to be trading win now players for, and Nash isn't really an upgrade. I think this is just some flub blowing smoke because none of that benefits Edmonton.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Looks like really bad value for Edmonton

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Staal is a Left shot D. It's common knowledge now that the Oilers need righties.

 

[MakeCgyGreatAgain]

I hate the Oilers but even they don't deserve this. It's brutal for them. Taking contracts into account they give up the two best assets. Definitely not worth a late first.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Do we even know if it's a legit. source? Who is this guy? I only posted it because it seemed like he had at least some credentials so maybe he knows something.

 

[Super Cake]

Didn't it come out that Nash would not waive his nmc for any team in Canada?

So i don't know where this rumor is coming from.

 

[oXo Cube]

Not only is it really bad value but it doesn't even fill any roster holes like the Hall trade did.

Couple that with Nash reportedly blocking any trade to Canada and I think it's pretty obvious this rumor is just junk.

 

[Bossy Mike]

Already confirmed Nash won't waive to any Canadian team.

[MOD]

Why is that?

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Is any random poster on Twitter now considered a source?

That makes absolutely no sense for Edmonton.
