No I'm not. Most Of us agree trading Ebs for a much needed hard to get piece is a fine move.
You're getting flack for a) clearly
Letting your hate for a player blind you to the point of b) being okay with losing him for nothing.

I have never been so in love with a player that I'm unwilling to move him to improve our team.
- Larsson_fan

I would move any player to improve us as well

I don't want a gaping hole in our lineup. I want a stronger defense and someone that can play more of a 2way game than Eberle. Also, I hate Eberle.

You don't like eberle!??

No he didn't

What can I say? I don't like players that don't give it their all and compete hard. I'm a blue collar guy myself, work my ass off. I appreciate it in others

Come on now... He's only making $6 million a year... Why should he show hustle out there for peanuts like that?

Yes but we're talking about scoring goals. You guys said Eberle is the better goal scorer. The numbers say otherwise.

faur enough


I don't think it's lack of effort. But just my view. Could be wrong

We can't all be making that sweet Fleshlight coin like you

- HB77

I think it is effort. It was shown many times in between periods by the analysts, that his effortless defensive breakdowns directly resulted in goals scored against us

Maybe you can buy the Oilers and have Eberle traded for me then?

He became the whipping boy . It's pretty typical if you ask me . Analysts piling it in doesn't sway me

Dude scores 20 and 50 and its like he had the worst season ever or something

That could only be considered a poor season for someone's who's proven they can score at a first line rate

But again, you're welcome to your view. I doubt ima change your mind .
I'm also abit biased towards eberle. Just in the other direction

I'm pretty confident that he's played his last game as an Oiler. If he goes on to flourish elsewhere, great for him. I think this team would be better off with a stronger defense and a 2way player like Williams, or Eaves in Eberle's spot.

I wouldn't doubt that that'll happen in the near future.

- Ihatebrianburke

With the defender in a deal for ebs yeah.
But just as a replacement alone like eaves- strongly disagree. Eaves is like s career 30 point guy. Has been injury prone and even his best career year only ties ebs worst season.
Plus he's on the wrong side of 30. Eaves can't carry eberles jock . He's a 3rd liner that got hot last year


U get us a defender and a vet two way guy, sure.

Wrong side of 30 doesn't concern me. He played great hockey last year. And I wouldn't be looking to him or a Williams long term. I think Puljujarvi will be our best winger within a few years

I just don't see chiarelli moving him for a return that is mostly cap savings.
ITs funny how I hear people compare it to the hawks shedding money for low value.
Thing is, they do it after actually winning something.
Don't tear apart the band before they started playing


If it's not a quality defender, keep him, take a shot next season and lose him for nothing if it works out that way

It's not like puju still won't get the chance. But you've got insurance if he struggles

Fair

For sure the defender and the short term free agent


I didn't get that part. My bad
- HB77

You didn't get it because he hasnt really been painting like that. He's been saying get rid of Ebs and get a lesser forward in his place.

Not gonna read all this back and forth love messages...

Who won the contest?

Gonna give him away?

Eberle, one of the softest and laziest players in the league - still the 24th best goalscorer in the NHL since 2010...

I would move any player to improve us as well
- Ihatebrianburke

And here's the other thing: the Hall for Larsson trade is indeed lopsided now as it was when it happened, But I'm okay with it, but only after it was proven that the defensive depth he provided made the Oilers a better team.
Do we still need an absolute stud #1 D man? Sorta...but I'm okay with 2-3 #2 D, which it appears we have now. It's a quantity over quality position right now, and one we need to get used to because unless we move Draisaitl for one, and that isn't gonna happen.

Ignoring JJ as I don't really bother to get involved with bloggers, some of those Hawks fans are remarkably dim. It was just a couple months ago now that much of the fanbase was tearing Seabrook to shreds over getting walked through their first round series.

I read at least one of them wouldn't accept Tanev and the 5th overall pick for Schmaltz, Seabrook and their 1st this year. Like, (frank) me that's everything you can ask for and more.
