I don't think he gets you that. Think the conversation starts with Hall.

I think you are way off base here.

"Starts" with Hall? Are you saying we would have to add to Hall for a top 4 D'man?

Not necessarily. Eberle can be part of a deal for a top 4 d-man but it would have to have picks/prospects added to it. If you're going to do something straight across for a top pairing D, Hall is where it starts.

If a top four D is being moved, it's due to a trade request or for pressing cap reasons in which case the return for said D would be considerably less than Taylor Hall.

Those trades never happen.

sounds like somebody didn't book Monday off

Eberle is what he is. A top 6 skilled winger who isn't gritty or defensively apt by any means. Defensemen are what basically every team in the NHL wants. Eberle alone does not get you that top 4 D.

Eberle can return a top 4 on his own. The reason he's not traded yet is probably because Chia has his mind set on a Hamonic type who is a solid #3

uh, yeah he does.... eberle for a 2nd pairing dman is a completely fair deal (and i say this as one of the biggest eberle-detractors on the board, and a guy who has been screaming to trade him for 2 years now)... eberle doesn't get you a top-pairing guy, no question about that, but he easily brings back a 2nd pairing guy... likely a pretty good one at that
