Not remotely interested. Eberle is more talented, Gallagher is the team's emotional engine.

My cap runneth over
Funny. Hab fans would have jumped at that before this year and Oiler fans said they had zero interest in an untalented player like Gallagher.

so true. but now a 20 goal guy who plays a hard nose style at a low cap hit is harder to find. But I would LOVE to see Eberle here
Why exactly would Edmonton do this ?
Another long off-season with people proposing trades that don't even make sense for the other team.

Poked the bear!!!!!
I would take Eberle on the Habs too, but not at the cost of Gallagher. Gallagher is part of the team's winger depth that we actually need to keep and build on.

agreed.
They are in need of top 4 capable D and goaltending. That isn't ideal, but it does fill their needs, all without touching their big names or core. We can poo-poo Emelin all we want, but he is an upgrade to their D and under contract for a couple years at less than what they would have to pay a lesser player to sign there. Fucale is a legitimate G prospect that they will need.
Also, I'd do it to get our 2nd back....but you don't ask you don't get.
What centers are available? List is quite short.
No use going after a Thornton, too old and likely won't waive his NTC anyways.
Soderberg could be a nice depth addition who can play center, but not necessarily a #1 guy. He's been stuck behind Bergeron and Krejci in Boston.
Yeah, trading Gallagher for Eberle is a sideways move.
I would try and build a deal around Emelin Eller and Fucale. Not sure if that's enough or the type of deal they want.
If you upgrade your top 6 then a guy like Desharnais can give your 3rd line a jumpstart. Hudon and Andrighetto are good candidates also.
Right now the issue is the Habs have 5 top 6 guys, Weise has filled in but is more a 3rd or 4th liner. Parenteau is not worth his cap hit on the 3rd line, he's the the guy on the roster that has to go.
Say you can somehow add a guy like Eberle for a package plus sign Soderberg, you can build a pretty strong top 9...
Plekanec Eberle Pacioretty Galchenyuk Gallagher Soderberg Desharnais Eller plus Hudon/Andrighetto/DSP.
I think adding a #1 C is highly unlikely unless a big name is available and I don't know about it. Malkin...count me in...but I doubt he is available.
I think on defense the pieces are there, find a way to sign Petry and move Emelin. Gonchar and Weaver move on. Maybe bring in a low end FA to challenge Tinordi/Pateryn/Nygren for the #6-7 spots. Markov-Subban-Petry-Gilbert-Beaulieu is a solid 1-5.

I proposed this in the RoR thread and got a favourable response…what do you guys think?
Tinordi + 2015 1st + McCarron for ROR
Here’s my line of thought:
Tinordi – is a big defenceman with an upside of a #4 but realistically #5 or #6, Bealieu/Pateryn have passed him.
2015 #1st rounder – This is a late 1st round pick, our window is now! Patches, PK, Price are all in their prime. Whoever we pick is still a good 3-4 years away (at least). By that time our guys will be late 20s early 30s.
McCarron – this is probably the toughest decision. The guy has really stepped up and with his size could be a gem. However we have this guy whose name is Scherbak, who could be ready as early as next season. He also plays RW.
At the end of the day we’re not losing anyone from our actual roster and adding 24 year old #1C.
RoR, Patches, Chucky, Gallagher, Subban, Price would be an awesome core. Add Eller, Scherbak, DLR, Beaulieu, Pateryn.

Honest question, why do you want to keep Desharnais ? Unless you think we're stuck with him, then, that would be different...

Replace Big Mac with JDLR. We will deeply regret trading that guy.
I pitched this same offer with JDLR and most Colorado fans were cool with it.

ROR has 1 year left on his contract and has proven to be a nightmare in negotiations. Absolutely not.

I would obviously be ok with that but with many teams pitching COL, I think it will take Big Mac to pull it off.
Trust me I know what we're giving away...I can see Big Mac becoming a sort of Lucic but with better hands. However getting RoR would solidify our top-6

Not really...Lacroix was forcing him into bridge which he did not want, sort of the same as what happened with PK. Only difference is that PK wasn't offer-sheeted by Calgary.
