I know he isn't one of the Oilers #1 overall players, but I think Eberle is the LAST player the Oilers should ever trade. He's got something special about him that nobody else on the team does.

You are right, he is a goofy looking mofo and definitely has something special "ed" looking about him

Hey fleshlight manufactures, I have a market.

special ederle?

Welp, I was just informed in Eklund's thread that negotiations for Letang START with Eberle + 1st + prospect. Looks like we'll just have to hang on to him...
- Morris

They can keep him for that price, the Flyers will be more than happy to snag him as a UFA.

You seriously need to get that nickname going and take full credit for it.

It was completely by accident cause i think it was mark lee on a cbc broadcast that just got the words mixed up. Ted nugent hopkins is cool, would be even better if he would shoot flaming arrows into his guitar too.

I don't think Letang is the answer. The numbers are sexy but I just dont think he is the answer. If it's Eberle + 1st then yeahhhh no.

I'm surprised more oilers fans aren't willing to pay the price to get a top dman like letang.

It's tempting yes. I just wonder, a lot, how Letang would play outside of Pitt.

and like I said before, I don't see Pittsburgh doing it. I think they'd trade almost anyone before him.

That's a tough call


I'll get on my soap box here for a bit

I read this site not because of eks rumors not because clouts blogs but because rarely in the mists trolls and idiots and Internet tough guys who bully posters around there are some knowledgeable fans who talk reasonable hockey


I have been around one first site since 06 while that site crashed before the cup finals I returned with new user name in 08

I am not hear to listen to laughs slag his ex girlfriend or learn about flashlights I am not hear for the pics but I do enjoy the misc lounge bikini babes 3.

I do not care for raveens always intelligent contribution" I don't like this poster so I'm going to make an urban dictionary entry for him it was funny the last 15 times so is one will surly be a hit"

I come to this site for intelligent hockey talk but this season clouts seems to have money issues and has taken troll blogging to a whole new level.

This site was better when we had threads in the oilers section instead of a blogger post

Imho

I'd take Letang for Eberle. Fits in that age bracket(25) that we need and is an all-around d-man. He plays against the other teams best and is generally good for 40 points.

Eberle is good no doubt, but this trade would really shore the team up. Plus it's not like you'd be losing 75 points, you really are only losing 30ish. Getting 40+ points from the back end would be great.
- Lahey

You guys CRAZY?

No (frank)ing way I do that deal. Letang and a first wouldnt be enough.

I'd say a few reasons. 1 contract he might command 6-7 mil and with the cap going down I don't know if we can afford that and resign Malkin. Also we need a top 6 winger and you have to give to get. It's purely hypothetical just something I was thinking about. Eberle would be a staple on Sids wing for years to come and Letang would boulster your blue line for years to come. Obviously we would miss letang but we do have quite a few defensive prospects maybe we get lucky and find one who can be close to as good. Currently we have Beau Bennett as a forward prospect and that is about it.
- dbell646

Eberle gets 6 million next year. That deal does not help you get under the cap and sign Malkin.

i think it would definitely take more than eberle. Letang is a top 5 dman in the league with a cup ring and only 25 years old.

eberle and a 1st is pretty fair imo.
- sens rock

Letang is way over rated. No way I trade Ebs straight across for him let alone plus.

Ridiculous.

Why on earth would they do that? We already have decent defensive prospects. We need veteran presence back there. What blog was that on?

Right now no. We aren't in the market for moving proven NHLers for prospects.

At the draft is a different story.
