Tanev to the oilers for ethan bear and RNH?

Covered this earlier. The answer is no even without Bear.

I missed earlier, due to an infestation of TML trolls.

What was the consensus??

My question is what is the longterm gain in acquiring RNH?
He is a playmaker but i'm not sold he is a playoff warrior.
- Nighthawk

He might be in 5 years, not really a fan of him but jim could flip him, I like bear watched him many times.

This is interesting.

I guess it would depend on how much Dallas thinks their window is open right now. It is a real high first to be giving up, but you also took back a salary dump and your second still leaves them a couple picks in the top 35.

I think this one may make some sense.

No way Gilardi and Aquilini are doing a blockbuster trade. they hate each other

Tanev for RNH is interesting, though I would think Oilers trade Eberle out of anyone from that forward group.

I just meant that I covered it earlier. Not really a consensus, I just don't see a world where the Oilers give up valuable C depth for a guy with an injury history like Tanev's. Despite his offensive drop-off, McLellan and Chiarelli value having C depth and what he does.

Just turned 24.
6'0 and 198lbs.
Has been good for 20g and 30a.

He'd be a piece of the puzzle.

But he's not an Alpha i hear.

RNH is NOT somebody we should be targeting. His play in the playoffs was disgraceful

I hearya but no panic for that deal.
Better offers r out there prolly & not shopping Tanev unless a very good return.
- Nighthawk

He would be a good guy to trade for a good return, but also a good guy to keep for a rebuilding team. I guess, like always, it just depends on what teams are offering. Some team may be really interested, but I would think it would be a team that fancies themselves closer to contending right now... like Ottawa / Dallas / Tampa

Eberle isn't worth much, he reminded me of vrbata in the playoffs.

I agree, could be a win-win.
I want no part of Eberle however.

Eberle should be gone out of EDM soon. Not sure RNH is a fit here although I wouldn't mind his reg. season points in the lineup.

No chance the Canucks would trade Tanev for RNH so I am glad all parties agree that Edmonton isn't a suitable trade partner

I see you didn't watch him.

I see.
I was thinking with salary demands of Drai and McD that RNH and his position on the depth chart would make him movable, along with the glaring need for more defensive help.

In the past others here have trashed RNH and feel that Tanev is worth more.

I think it's a good/fair swap myself.

ahhh I never knew that. Yeah, that would put a damper on things

- CanuckDon

His poor play was still better than most Canucks this postseason.

Again, not saying he's a warrior that is going to put the team on his back and lead us to the promise land...just that he could be a valuable asset.

Further suggestions should be flagged.

- CanuckDon

Don't know why that's laughable, but okay. While he's certainly a very good shutdown Dman, he isn't the guy Edmonton should spend assets on. Nor do I think Vancouver is inclined to move their only top pairing Dman to a team within their division.

I see you didn't watch him.
- MaximumBone

Him and Eberle under performed during the playoffs, no debate there.

I don't think the value is off, just that Edmonton values Cs too much despite his high cap hit. His existence on the team allows for Draisaitl to move up to RW when needed without then having to use Letestu as the team's 2C.

Also, I disagree that Edmonton's D has a glaring hole that needs filling.

Thats my take as well. Trading Tanev is not a must but only for the right return.
Tradeable for reason RHD r not easily acquired. Both teams need a win win.

I just don't see how you can fit him in to the plans with all the raises that are needed.

I thought Russel played admirably this season, but it would be a mistake to lock him into a contract imo.

Tanev >> Russel and would look great on Edm top 4 with Skeraj, Larson, Klefbom.

Him and Eberle under performed during the playoffs, no debate there.
- dbot

Eberle, definitely. He was a major disappointment.

As for Nuge, it's not so simply. Production was a struggle, but to say Nuge's performance was disgraceful tells me that he didn't watch any games. His work playing the shutdown role in the San Jose series was fantastic. His whole line struggled to convert but that wasn't for a lack of chances as he was in and around the net getting chances throughout the playoffs.
