Well how? Whys it make any sense to trade Any of those guys?
- ClarksonDavid

It doesnt.
But I could see Yakopov being moved for a quality Dman.
The oilers have some good D prospects, they just need to learn from someone.

Absolutely. Yaks will be the first to be dealt.

What do you think his value would be these days?

Yeah forgot bout Yakupov, he will probably be moved this summer and turn into a pretty good player most likely.

Who would they trade though ? No way you move Hall or RNH. Eberle? I doubt they want to move Eberle.
- ClarksonDavid

thats the point.. you dont need all 3.. move one and get a young stud d-man

you gotta give to get.. some GMs dont understand this it seems.

Franson/clarkson?

I have tax pain...It is real.

So do I...end of month is coming fast

Franson/clarkson?
- CanadianBodmon

they'll trade him to washington for someone like Connor Carrick

- bixll

Well of course not.

I said "quality" dman.....so it wouldnt be a fit with T.O

They have some alright d prospects coming up, they just need a good dman right now. You move 1 of those three all of a sudden your offence looks pretty bad. Hall and RNH are untouchable and Eberle is pretty awesome.

Hard to say, but I would a quality 3-4 dman.

i wouldnt call anyone else they got overly special

maybe that kleffborn or maricin or something?

Hall, RNH and Ebs wont be moved.
They'll move Yak

Those 3 are the future.

This. Can't fall in love with potential. They had a real need, and one of those top picks gave them the tools to get what they needed. I can't speak for them, but I can imagine that was the intent. Now this new batch of forwards can replace one of those guys.

Klefbom should be alright and Maricin is supposed to be pretty good as well, plus they have Shultz and Petry is a not bad dman himself.

Well of course not.

Don't forget that MacT wanted to pay Clarkson $6m per; it won't take much to pull one over him.

Hall had a quiet 80 points this year.

not sure. he's probably got good scouting reports on Martin Brodeur and Jaromir Jagr.

How do you move two top line wingers and RNH the only decent centre they have? Moving hall is like us moving Kessel, moving Eberle is like moving JVR. Both of which are younger and arguably better

They needed defense - simple as that.

They have some pretty decent D prospects.
Nurse
Klefbom
Marincin
Musil
Teubert
Plante

Pretty good

Lets hope.

But I would give Clarkson one more year.

Oilers will be good...one of these years.

Try find ways to get it without moving those 3, this years pick, Yakupov.
