yeah, no way bergeron doesn't make this team. all he does is come up huge in big games.
- therealagent

best faceoff guy in the league. best PKing C in the league. great everywhere. No reason he shouldn't be in the top 9

Seems like MacT is pretty high on Nurse, do you think there's much of a chance he takes Nichuskin over Nurse if they are both available at this point?
- OilersFan1985

i'd actually would consider nichushkin over nurse.

Okay this part was sarcasm but u get the point
- coolehmon41

I get it too. I was trying to get Pilgore to explain to me why San Jose would make that trade. I dont make that trade because I think Ebs is better, I dont. I just think those picks are valuable.

I believe the Oilers would play it safe and take a big strong dman who is almost a sure thing. I think Nurse is a poor mans Seth Jones and that is not a bad thing. Nurse has an outstanding outlook and oozes confidence. He can scrap with the best of them and considering all the small forwards he would be a great addition.
The Russian could be a superstar but he could be a royal pain, tough call really.

I've heard Ristolainen is Jones lite. Nurse isn't the offensive threat Jones is.

I'd absolutely do Eberle for Couture. Wouldn't do Eberle+7th for couture. Doesn't make sense for both teams
- TheNugeIsHuge

Has there actually been any talk of this from the actual teams? I highly doubt that either of San Jose or Edmonton would even consider a deal like this.
Eberle is gold and does not deserve this kind of trade banter.

why wouldn't the sharks do dat? Especially if the oil give them a 2nd like pilgor suggested earlier.

To make a trade for a legit #1 center you will have to over pay.... A LOT

Eberle tied Couture in points this season and did it with a broken finger. He also got more points in his second season than Couture's ever had.

Eberle is only going to get better and better. Couture seems like a real ass-hat too. Wouldn't want that ego on my team.

I don't even believe these stories. I saw him at the HNIC play on tournament last year, and he was signing stuff for everybody and was full smiles (no matter the attractiveness of the moms).

I think people don't like couture because of the VAN-SJ series. Serious diving on his part, I mean, come on

Buddy I absoultely hate Eberle but I wouldn't make that poop up. Hall was with him too if that makes you feel better.

All the NHL guys from Edm or around skate at my work in the summer and none of them are like that.

- deks1

I was happy with the idea of nichushkin until like 10 pages back lol

The fact that he won't go to the AHL to develop the NA game is a huge turn off. I say he fleas to RUS early in his career

My hatred for you is paying your (frank)ing house off with all these hits (frank).

How about you reciprocate and hook me up with some of that inside knowledge you have. Just to be clear, that last sentence was a massive joke. You don't know jack poop.

Love Pilgor.

Apparently Ristolainen has a bomb.

If I was boss i'd trade that pick in a package for a proven young player, but if I couldn't Monny or Ristolainen would be my choice.

Cotoure is an ass hat even though you've literally no proof of that?

Awesome.

Hey Jones will be long gone so forget about him. Nurse is just as tough and is not bad offensively. The question was Nurse or the russian. Good chance the Fin won't go till around number 10.

I think yak convinces him to stay.

Why is Couture a douche?

I can tell you some stories about Eberle being a complete bumhole to kids who up to him for autographs at my work and him blowing them off. He then found out the kids mom was hot and chatted her up.
- Pilgor09

And I can tell you stories of how during the fundraising benefit for Slave Lake fire victims he was awesome with the kids there. And then when he was told about one of my employees who lives there and lost a lot and was a huge fan but was unable to get to the benefit because of working late, he came with us to the guys house, hung out and signed a bunch of memorabilia for him. Made the guys year having Eberle at his house having a beer with us.

Couture was one of the biggest beakers during the lockout. Numerous times he opened his mouth I wanted to put my fist in it.

Bob Mac said Pulock had the hardest shot on the draft.

If we trade down and got Horvat and Pulock I'd be happy.

Dude I saw that.... they ran out the side door

Media people said that they do that all the time, that's why they like Nuge better

- flyerdude17

No. Pilgor's just stirring the pot n makin some oiler fans mad. I'm a big fan of eberle. I'd trade him if a young top pairing D was on the table, but I do hope he isn't dealt.

a bomb of a shot doesn't matter if you can't skate. Wasn't impressed with pulock when I saw him (which was only 3 times)

dunno about pulock.

Honestly move that pick, cause next year the pick won't be nearly as high!! I hope!!

I know he can be a great guy as well. I'm just saying he has his moments like I'm sure Cotoure does.

Who cares, that makes him a douche? I'd want to be (frank)ing paid as much as I could too.
