Agree with this... but what does the 2015 1st rounder (likely top 10 pick with lotto potential)) get you/worth??
- saskoil21

with mcdavid and eichel at the top, and the oilers sucking this bad out the gates....

one hell of a lot.

probley more than what Yak is worth.

Dont forget a Contract or two will have to go with the pick depending on the return.

Hall has the most value on the Oilers if you were to ask me. (out of the 3 Eberle for sure though i agree if thats what you meant)

what about not trading any of them and trading the first round pick? which would have huge value...just a thought.
- Lucas Neilson

I cannot see any 2015 picks being traded at this point. imagine being the GM that traded away the pick that was used for McDavid.

What has it gotten historically? i can think of Cory Schneider (for the 9th overall) as being a recent one, but that is likely skewed by the situation Vancouver was in

Likely- potential is always worth more - but give me an example please- what is the Edmonton Oilers 2015 1st rounder worth??

just send hall to the isles to play with JT. Isles will send Dal Colle a D prospect +

that is just gawd awful

Plus they knew where NJ was picking.

I said COMPLETE answer and that they are only part of the problem, some of the blame has to fall on the players and coaches.

Not sure what's so crazy about that statement

Gouloubef ,1st for Yakupov, probably the best deal on the table.

A 2nd for Johansen

GM's are going to see EDM - 1st rd pick, bad start and McDAvid/Eichel at the end of the tunnel.

It will get much more than Schneider.

EDM needs some vets. Maybe also a couple prospects so they could also perhaps chase the top pick.

How about this (assuming they can get guys to waive NTCs)

To BOS: Eberle, 3rd round pick, low range D prospect
To EDM: Lucic or Marchand, Spooner/Koko/Subban (pick 1), a low end prospect and this year's First rounder.

The B's get their top 6 right-shooting RW, the Oilers get a vet, top 6 fwd, an NHL ready prospect, a project, and a 2nd first round pick to potentially package for one of the top 2 picks.

As a joke, if you'll give us Ference back, we'll let you have Bartkowski and 2 of the prospects listed. I miss Ference.

Vancouver was offered a higher pick than 9th by the Oilers- they were foolish not to take it... but regardless Edmonton wont have the 9th overall pick this year... its like a higher pick...

Or waiting for draft day and trading the #1...Remember the haul Quebec got for Lindros? That package allowed Colorado to win cups.

Only correct answer is management. Wow are they horrible

uneducated opinion


like mact u mean? hes only had the job for just over a year and has completely turned over the garbage fire he inherited. more active than any tenured gm in that time.

cant attract star free agents. cant get stars to waive ntc. has to sign and then overpay for secondary players. and hope they make enough of an impact. all the while waiting for a core of kids to develop.

or we could trade one of them for some 3rd line plugs that many people suggest of course....

and the 11% of people who voted to trade nuge are clueless

KLOWNs fingers have been on this team the entire rebuild- he only hires his friends... I would say LARGE %age...

I don't think i do this, not because i overvalue Eberle, but because the return is not what we need most. Top 6 Center or Top 3(?) defenceman. That is what we should be targeting if trading away someone like eberle.

that is just gawd awful
- DDM-Coga

I know, it was a joke

This is very true. But I would give that a 0.0001% chance of happening.

Let's be honest, right now nobody is in a hurry to give up something for Yakupov.

Agreed

You cant really expect people to use that poll vote seriously. Its a troll pole no different than most of these threads.
