Plum Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Good trade for both teams, obviously Edmonton is going for the tank but they got a 1st rounder in the 18-27 area in a deep draft. Penguins get a top 6 winger to help their depth, at one point they had so many injuries Crosby had Downie and a AHLer on his wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outsiders Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I can't believe Edmonton got a 2015 1st rounder. this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Just to clarify Perron got a 1st round pick. Think on that everyone when the trade talks start heating up over the next 60 days and people are still claiming we have worthless players in regards to trade value. Seriously shocked Edm got that value for Perron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatedkid666 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Wow the penguins are looking good. But remember a few seasons back when penguins made all sorts of trade deadline deals and everyone was saying that we might aswell give them the cup now? I don't remember who they got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsedin33 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 It will still likely be a 25-30 overall pick. Even in a deep draft that ain't so great. Also I love Edmontons motto: Why win hockey games when you can win drafts? Its so much easier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langdon Algur Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 So basically the Oilers got a first rounder for MPS who cleared waivers in St. Louis. Good deal for both teams, strange to see the Oilers finally make a decent move. Looks like they're in the race for McDavid for sure now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 even if they dont get the first overall they have plenty of picks to try and trade up for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billabong Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Oilers need some nhl bodies more then anyone right now Hall-rnh-eberle Pouliot-Roy-yakupov Fraser-draistl-purcell Hendricks-Gordon-pitlick That is God awful, trading hall or eberle has never looked more needed and who knows what you would get for yakupov but 1 of them has to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 That sick scoring depth on the Pens though. Sid gets another scorer to work with, and the Oil get size and a good asset. As long as Yak holds up as the 2nd line's L.W. the deal looks alright IMO b/c the Oil actually have enough winger scoring to offset this move, although in the short term the Pens get the best asset to fill their need.

goalie13 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 The tanking has officially begun for Edmonton. Pittsburgh just got even better. So up to now, the Oilers have only been tanking un-officially? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Vanderhoek Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Edmonton doesn't need another 1st rounder lol. They need NHL quality and experience. They needed to add some key veterans to their roster to compliment their youth. Perron unfortunately was the easiest and likely only one of the younger players Edmonton was willing to trade from their " core ". Turning Perron into a 1st may prove a good move if the Oilers can turn that pick into a better NHL option, but again the team doesn't need more picks, they need to build an NHL roster for the younger players to come up in. Good move for Pittsburgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedintwinpowersactivate Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 If they are having a firesale can the Canucks pry Justin Schultz out of EDM? We need a puck moving D man. I'm sure he is kicking himself that he didn't stay in Anaheim. His parents are huge Canuck fans and even though he has had a rough start to his career his future is very bright.... better than any of our current defensive prospects.
