Jaku Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Cap relief move? Reuniting the Tavares - Eberle tandem? Interesting move nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darius Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 So in the past couple years the coil have given a 16th pick (Barzal), a 33rd pick and Eberle (a former first rounder) to the Islanders for Griffin Reinhart (gone for nothing) and Ryan Strome. Yeah, thats genius management. It must be nice to inherit an embarrassment of riches in order to take chances like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really was expecting Eberle for Harmonic or Eberle for Barrie Thought Eberle>Strome unless his playoff performance really hurt his trade value or there is more pieces or what the hell do i KNoW?!/ I don't know man, the Isles center depth is pretty woeful to begin with and moving a center for a winger doesn't do them many favours, neither does adding $6 million in cap space. I think the biggest take away from this is The Isles are the WORST managed franchise in the NHL bar none. The Oilers may have been the worst franchise statistically over a decade but for almost 20 years the Isles have been absolutely horrifically run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks like a win for the Oilers, because the clear out Eberle's contract, while getting back a young top prospect, no? What am I missing about this?

Zhukini Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 So glad we weren't in on Eberle. He'll be known as a great WJC player and overrated NHLer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumping a $6 million a year winger contract for a center to a team needing centers while still having 2 quality young centers to trade and having one of the best playmaking prospects in the world still in the AHL is part of it IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they have Barzal on the way too. Any combination of those 3 + Tavares is pretty far from "woeful", IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I really don't understand this trade from Edmonton's perspective. In Eberle's worst season he still put up a higher point per game than Strome's best season. Does Edmonton need cap space that badly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancouver Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 This move clears cap space for strome who has upside and enables the oil to trade RNH for even more cap relief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only does McNugget make everyone look good, he makes their jobs easier by making deadmonton a palatable destination for UFAs. Would Lucic have gone to Edmonton to play with Hall and the Nuge if McLotto wasnt there? Mind you Lucic looks like a 1970s diesel volkswagon trying to keep up with the rest of them but thats besides the point. Chiarelli inherited an embarrassment of riches, he can afford to lose multiple hands in a row and he will still come out looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
