Rumor: Peter Chiarelli is not done?
- Thread starter Captain Controversy
- Start date
It would take about 3 games of Eb's as your 2nd line RW before all of St. Louis is in love with him.
There a lot of bad habits that got blamed on him, that were created by the Oilers terrible defense, and the even worse defensive system.

Chia thinks Larsson is already a top pair rhd on a good contract.... Add in his comments at he PC, and I think he thinks the deal is fair.
In addition, the oilers have forward depth. Chia mentioned at the PC how Leon's ability to play rw, and play it well, allows him more flexibility on the trade front.

Of course he is going to try to spin it as a fair deal. He also said that the price of defenseman and admitted that they felt desperate.
For what its worth, Larsson did play top pair last year and did so well (including PK, defensive zone starts, and tough competition).
Only on HF can this statement happen.
I will say I was hoping for more than Larsson
, But he is exactly what we needed.
As for your question, Chia did get Hamilton and Arguing for Lesser. He was forced by management to move Arguing. The oilers are bad and were not progressing with Hall and needed a top D more than offence. Larsson is signed cheap long term and will make paying Mcdavid easier.
Complain about the return, but for months posters have *****ed out oiler fans about not paying the price to get the Dman they needed regardless of the price. Well this is that deal, so years to those posters for being right,.
For the record I am Happy to be rid of Hall as he is a great player but not a good team player.

If the + wasn't too substantial, I'd say it's a move the Oilers should make. If you have Leon and McD, isn't RNH as a 3C a bit wasted?

Take it for what it's worth, but Rishaug was asked on EDM radio this morning what he expects to happen in the next few days. He said the Oilers will sign Lucic and trade RNH for Barrie. Seems to be a lot of smoke with this RNH-Barrie thing in Edmonton media.

Would do Brett Pesce for RNH or Eberle. Very similar defenseman to Adam Larsson. Played all-situations top-4 minutes as a 21 year old Rookie straight out of the NCAA.
Makes sense for Colorado if they see Duchene as a wing going forward:
DUCHENE ($6M) MACKINNON (?) LANDESKOG ($5.5M)
GRIGORENKO (?) NUGENT-HOPKINS ($6M) IGINLA ($5.3M)
MATTHIAS (?) SODERBERG ($4.75M) RANTANEN ($0.8M)
COMEAU ($2.4M) MITCHELL ($1.8M) MCLEOD ($1.3M)

Wait, why does Eberle need a change of scenery after being a top 30 scorer in the NHL for the last 4 years?

Really Jordan Eberle is far better then Tyler Ennis, What else is Buffalo adding here.
Not to mention's Edmonton's top two RWs after that trade become a teenager and one of Yakupov or Kassian.
NO thanks to that.
You didn't list the defense.
Also we only have two prospects that are actually high quality. One is a center. The other played C/W last year in the AHL. Sure you can shift centers to the wing, but why? Center is where they're the most valuable.
Just seems like RNH should go to a team that actually needs centers.

Because we don't want Eberle.
RNH>>>>Eberle
All day every day. I just don't think the teams make good trading partners.

Ennis is a RW...but he makes way too much for what he actually contributes.
