This does nothing for the Oilers trying to get out of a rebuild not trade proven players for picks and prospects.

Why do you think the Oilers would have any interest in this? It does nothing but make them worse.

Did you even stop to think about Edmonton's team needs? They need defence, and Eberle wouldn't be available especially after trading Hall. RNH and Drai would be available, I imagine.

Nope. Eberle is a one dimensional player, but he's very good at that dimension. I expect that a season alongside McDavid could translate to around 70 points.
The proposed deal does nothing for us.

Oilers are the last team in the league who should trade proven players for picks. There's no way they would make this trade. I wouldn't even trade Eberle for Buffalo or Toronto's 1st let alone a good playoff club like Nashville.

Yeah my bad. Oilers need more proven players I suppose. Value wise it's not bad but it's not what Edmonton needs.
Carrier is good prospect on defense. But yes, he isn't proven at all in the nhl.
Point taken guys. I'll try for a better one next time.

No, it's still pretty bad value wise. As one dimensional as Eberle might be, teams would be extremely happy if a first round pick not in the top 5-10 ended up as good as him.
Big pass. The Oilers have one legit top 6 RW on the roster.
Carrier is a worthless prospect(OK maybe a 4th) and your 1st does SFA for the Oilers to improve this season
It's obvious you at clueless about the Oilers prospect pipeline. Funny enough, the farm needs offensive skilled forwards and are stuffed to the max in D prospects. I heard Hunt or LaLeggia had to play forward for a few games. Nurse and Reinhart will probably start in the AHL next season.

Yeah... no. Value wise it's a dumpster fire too. A "good prospect" for a top 6 (maybe even top line, depending on who you ask) winger who has produced in the NHL? One who was taken at 21st overall and is generally declared as being a really good turn out for that pick.... You want to make us try again at that same draft spot? If he was an A prospect, and a mid 1st, okay maybe. But I don't see this as any type of return that would be seen as on par with Ebs value.
Nothing about this says "value wise it's not bad" ... It's pretty bad.

Not the biggest fan of Eberle, but no way Edmonton would consider this. Yak, maybe?
A 1st is too high for Yakupov.
Still no use for Carrier since they have Caleb Jones, and Ethan Bear who at the minimum are equal
Oilers need to win in the next few years, so trading away our only top 6 established RW for picks is just stupid, not to mention NSH 1st is going to be late.
This is one of those trades where the OP doesn't even look at it from the Oilers perspective at all. It doesn't even slightly address their needs.

This doesn't really do much for Nashville. We don't need another right wing, we need a left wing, not to mention Eberle would put us right at the cap.

Broken record.....
Ugh
