homersexual Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 This from the Edmonton Journal article... TSN’s Darren Dreger said this morning on Montreal radio that Oilers GM Peter Chiarelli will have to get creative to find cap space for the coming pay days of Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid: “I think that Jordan Eberle has probably played his last game with the Edmonton Oilers. And some wonder if they might have to make a real significant move, and maybe move both Eberle and Nugent-Hopkins. I doubt it. I think that they still very much value Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and I could see why in watching that team closely. But that money has got to come from somewhere.” On Oilers Now, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet listed St. Louis, the New York Islanders, Vancouver and maybe Los Angeles as possible landing pads for Eberle. Only 26 and will probably get you 50+ pts as a right winger. Canucks are lacking on the right side. After Boeser and Goldy, Eberle would be a good 2nd/3rd line winger.

riffraff Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Why not? undersized perimeter player that fades in the heavy going?! straight to our top six where he belongs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tas Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 i would have been onboard 5 years ago, but there's no fit now. i'd rather bring back rodin than give up assets for eberle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossi Vaananen Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Problem is we'd be giving something Edmonton wants, either a D or straight cap dump. Why would we want to help that team further? This is a great example of avoiding inter-division trades. I also this he's been the benefactor of playing with some pretty exceptional players, dating back to junior.

aGENT Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Eriksson, Boeser, Goldobin, Granlund (with the twins), Virtanen, Dorsett... Yup, no right side depth there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eriksson, listed as left winger Granlund, listed as centre Sure, lets throw Beiga as a right winger too if you really want to say 'they can play on the right side' since he played a few games as a forward. Dorsett?? Eberle is a huge improvement over him. Edit: How in the world could anyone forget about MEGNA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either the Canucks gives it to them, or another team will, Edmonton will still get their D and cap dump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eriksson is the only winger close to eberles skill as a proven nhler and we have yet to see any value there anyway. Granlund not with the twins is a tweener top six player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both played RW with the Sedins, Granlund played LW with Sutter, and Erickson played both L and R with Sutter. Dorsett also plays either wing.

Tre Mac Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 That undersized forward that failed to score a goal in the playoffs and also caused two game winning goals against? Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 What's the over/under on media speculation this summer regarding Canucks acquiring forwards that have fallen out of favor in their team's top 6? I think 15 is fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Eberle would be an improvement on our wingers and would help out the power play. But the cost, the fact that it helps the Oilers more than it probably helps the Canucks, and Eberle's age (or more that he has reached his ceiling) negate any slight improvements that Eberle makes for the Canucks.

Sugar baby watermelon Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 No thanks plus like everyone else is saying, it would help out the Oilers and thats a big no... What is Friedman thinking, this speculation from him is way off, he is usually reliable isn't he? plus Eberle would be going to a division rival Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
