Which one of the kids is likely to be moved first?

[BigBen]

So, with the hiring of Chiarelli, I'm sure one of the kids will be on their way out for some defensive help or goaltending. Seeing as our C depth is fairly important and a big body like Draisatl who is ideal in our conference could be moved to wing, I'd think Eberle is the odd man out.

I think Yak wouldn't return enough value, plus i'm really high on him and his shot and work ethic. I wouldn't mind trading Hall either, as he would return the most, but i think he holds too much value to the organization. Who do you guys see being traded out of the kids, if any?

I'd say Taylor Hall.

Hopkins and Eberle have chemistry.
Mcdavid is untouchable and Yakupov is unproven.

 

[Helistin]

Kevin the Kid for tier 1 future considerations.

 

[Supermassive]

That didn't take long.

 

[voxel]

Hall for me, but ONLY after all UFA options and cap-dump trades have been evaluated.

Year 1 should not bring major trades from the "core"

If anything... say bye-bye to Jultz. Good riddance!!!!!!!

 

[5 14 6 1]

If they trade Hall they are so so dumb.

 

[Canovin]

Schultz. His big $$$ demands can go. Petry can come back under the new regime.

If we win a cup or 2 in 4 years and the core takes a discount, I think everyone will stay.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Why not wait until the season starts see who does well with McDavid and/or the new coach.

 

[Zaddy]

Tough to say. Doubt he's going to trade either one of them the coming season. If we didn't get McDavid I'd say Hall but you just don't trade him before you see what kind of chemistry he has with Connor. He's probably gonna try and get rid of everything else this coming season before touching any of the core guys (not including Schultz).

 

[oXo Cube]

It's Eberle. It has always been Eberle and it will always be Eberle as long as we continue to have all of them.

 

[s7ark]

None. Chia will wait until he actually watches them play before any drastic moves.

He tried to get Eberle and Hall in Boston. Little chance he moves them.
RNH is the top c and plays a good 2 way game ala Bergeron.
Yak plays a tough style and has unrealized potential.
Drai is a big C and he said he wants the Oilers to play heavier
Nurse is developing very well and plays a position the team is desperate for.

Possibly Schultz. But even then, we are lacking NHL D, so moving one out can't be the top priority.

 

[Beerfish]

Depends on what is offered. If teams are hot after Draisaitl I could see him being dealt.

 

[MoneyGuy]

My choice is Eberle.

Hall - one of the best at his position but undervalued because of the team around him. He could go in a major trade for a top-four D-man.
Nuge - top-centre potential, great playmaker; he stays.
Yak - way undervalued. Could go, I suppose, but you don't full value for him.
McDavid - virtually no chance he is traded.

Who, if anyone, goes depends on who you want back in a trade. Big trade, others can be on the table.

 

[McGoMcD]

Interstingly I think Mact would have done more this summer. My guess is Chia will really push some FA to come, might not see any trades.
Down the line who knows, probably Eberle.

 

[Mr Positive]

If they trade Hall they are so so dumb.

After McDavid I'm sure Hall is the next most untouchable player in Chia's eyes. Hall is grit and skill together.

 

[Titsuple]

Justin Schultz

 

[McAsuno]

Eberle.

 

[I am the Liquor]

Eberle. Fancy Dan who is weak on the puck and a non factor in puck battles.

 

[5 14 6 1]

My choice is Eberle.

Hall - one of the best at his position but undervalued because of the team around him. He could go in a major trade for a top-two centre.
Nuge - top-centre potential, great playmaker; he stays.
Yak - way undervalued. Could go, I suppose, but you don't full value for him.
McDavid - virtually no chance he is traded.

Who, if anyone, goes depends on who you want back in a trade. Big trade, others can be on the table.

Why on earth do we need one of those now?

I agree, I don't think any of the top guys will get moved any time soon.

 

[DomBarr]

none to start unless the offer completely blows them away. However its going to happen especially if they all hit their potential otherwise the oilers will be a cap hell by the time McDavid is signing his 2nd contract the oiler core will look totally different.

 

[Macblender]

Chia tried to acquire eberle once so I doubt he is out.

Hall he tried to trade up for so he likes him also.

RNH has that type of 2 way Bergeron type game and is the only proven centre.

Yak is pretty cheap and has some of the fire in his game Chia talked about today about not needing to be big to play heavy so not sure he gets moved.

I stil dont see any of the forwards moved besides Purcell and think nicotine is for sure gone also.

 

[GretzkytoKurri9917]

Eberle or Schultz.

 

[russ99]

Eberle. He's hit his ceiling and has the most trade value of the kids.

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

I'm not sure he rushes into moving anyone at the moment. If they did, I think Eberle is the likely candidate. His stock has got to be higher than it was a year ago, which is the opposite of Hall's situation. I don't think Chiarelli is going to be peddling assets out the door when their value is compromised. Just a hunch.
