two things:

i find this hard to believe because torts was ALWAYS benching Del zotto and putting him in the doghouse while also calling him out publicly time and time again

people here are over valuing MDZ way too much. he is not worth someone like burrows straight up

EK should stick with his Eastern rumors, because he has no idea what happens out west. Defence is not an issue at this time with Vancouver; in fact they may want to unload one. The Canucks need more production from forwards not named Sedin and is clearly not in a position to unload a “major offensive player” for D.

LOL that's what I was thinking. Vancouver in my mind only really needs some depth scoring and perhaps some sandpaper to be a serious cup contender. Makes no sense to juggle the makeup of the team so drastically.

Yep, it's total BS. Hey wait maybe Del Zotto for Booth!!!!

Judging by Sather's track record, he probably is looking for roster players, so that takes out picks and prospects.

I think it's more likely Edmonton will be wheeling and dealing over Vancouver, given the dire situation in Edmonton regarding defense and the fact that the entire EDM brass was at MSG. If Del Zotto truly is the target, I'd probably do Eberle for Del Zotto, but I don't really have a reference point on his value comparable to Ebs.

That would be the worst trade in Edmonton history.

Yea this guy's western conference stuff is about as insightful as Russia's take on the Varlamov situation.

Like EK says “they are rumors” therefore write whatever you like about anything you like. Accuracy does not come in to play here folks. It’s about hits.

That would be the worst trade in Edmonton history.

Perhaps it would be, perhaps not. Eberle lacks compete, which one could argue why we suck so bad. Now, maybe you would like to provide some insight regarding a trade between the two franchises?

Agreed. He has no clue, especially with the Canucks.

Del Zotto reminds me so much of Campoli

If Del Zotto truly is the target, I'd probably do Eberle for Del Zotto+, but I don't really have a reference point on his value.

Dear god no!

MDZ is not even close to what we need....

This is the 2nd day in a row that EK has talked about rumours!! Be happy with that.

Eberle for Pavelec!

Flames have an abundance of defense ?
Canucks looking for defense ?
Pretty sure the flames are missing defense and the Canucks are looking for secondary scoring
This is one of the weakest set of rumours yet ... I can do this too
Oilers need centers ... Looking at leafs as possible trade partner (e3)
Flyers caps talking goalie switch (e5 for fighting )
See this is easy

Yes indeed. EK should stick with his Flyers stuff and not embarrass himself by suggesting any knowledge of the western conference. This stuff is way out there and laughable.

Abwuh?

Who?

Giordano (Captain), not getting traded.

Wideman (playing most minutes on the team, needed - especially with Giordano injured).

Brodie (23 year old first pairing d-man playing the 9th toughest minutes in the league), not getting traded.

Russel (26 year old 2nd pairing d-man finally finding a home), not getting traded.

.....maybe Chris Butler or Shane O'Brien? But both are bottom pairing players, although Butler can slide into a 4 spot if needed.

If you need D, Pittsburgh is a good trade partner. I'd love to see Eberle on the Penguins.

Niskanen or Despres + Neal for Eberle + something else.

OK OK we will give up Booth, Weisse and AHLberts for MDZ

Shero wouldn't give up Neal for Eberle straight up ever. Eberle has been one of the Oilers worst forwards so far this year.

MDZ+Stepan+1st for Weise+Edler. Both teams win. NY takes this and runs, but I'm not sure Gillis can be swindled again.

Neal has a nice shot and all but I'd rather have Eberle on the Penguins. Just saying.

What's the deal with Booth? Does he really suck? I thought he would do good in Vancouver playing with Kesler. What is Booth's true value (money wise)?

4.2 mil. Yes he sucks, can't step on the ice without getting hurt. In the minors for reconditioning. Probably a buyout after the season.

- Orpik44

I'd take Neal on the Oilers since he's WAY bigger.
