Think this deserves a bump form the other thread....

For the 2700th time do not see why so many experts feel it is Ekblad or bust for the Oilers...use the #3 overall and take the Center!

Can't win it every year guys...just keep your heads up and come back stronger in 2015

As opposed to you who prefers pole.....

I voted trade the pick. Does that mean you'll do it now?

I suppose it's more varied and thus more mappable. That makes sense.

gotta figure a smooth stride and a big shot translate no matter what though.

I haven't read too much about him, but if you want a defenseman, the best you can hope for is in drafting the overwhelmingly top-ranked guy.
- Morris

True. I won't be upset if they take him at 3 like some posters here, just a good amount of risk attached to him and taking Dmen top 5.

Canadian teams at 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, and 10(OTT2ANA)

You think they can actually get over the hump this year?

You misspelled vagina.

This Dal Colle looks like a stud sitting right outside the top 4. NYI or VAN should not be too upset if they nab him

No

Quick Poll:

If the Oilers were to trade the 3rd overall, what's the minimum return you'd expect to consider it a worthwhile trade?

At least a true #1 dman
At least a top pairing dman + a top 15 pick
At least a 2C
At least a top 10 pick + a role player

Damned disappointed that Smytty decided to retire, with the Oilers actually playing 60 minutes and winning for him Saturday. If they stayed #2 to Buffalo, they'd have the stud D in the right-hand shooting Ekblad. Might as well trade it now to get some much needed help on the blue line.
MacT saying he's even more pleased with his hiring of Eakins now than he was last summer----seriously?! I'm so damned sick of incompetent Oiler Management, I'd just like to see Katz man-up and clean house on the entire crew, including assistants.

Depends for what? From the Leafs? Nothing!

Too many variables. Are we pairing something with it? Depends What?

Why don't we assume that the 1st is certainly the most valuable piece in the deal (either straight up, or not adding Yakupov/Eberle/Hall/Nuge/Nurse etc.)

Big buff is up to snuff

but I'm blindly in love with every 18YO that comes to EDM so I say (frank) it and keep it

Well I dont think you'll get a 2C with size and grit or a top 2 Dman for it alone.

Marco Roy is playing for Blainville-Boisbriand in a RIDICULOUS 2nd round game 7 against Rimouski. 4-0 Rimouski after 1, 5-4 for Rimouski after 2.
Roy has a 1g 2a so far (9 in 13 playoff games)

No

Yeah, I didn't pick them to get out of the first round in my bracket.
