6 feet in less than 24 hours and it is not letting up. It is not supposed to let up until Thursday!

Buff has a $5.2M cap hit. The Bruins would need to move a lot of money out to make room for him. They'll need to move a lot of money out just to ice a team next year with all the pending free agents.

Bruins need a cap trade?

I'm not convinced Edmonton is shopping Eberle really hard but I'd love him in Ottawa's top 6.

To Ottawa: Jordon Eberle
To Edmonton: Marc Methot, Zack Smith, 2014 3rd rounder

- Erik6Karlsson5

Counter offer
To Edmonton- Bobby Ryan
To Ottawa- Jeff Petry, Boyd Gordon, 3rd rounder

I'm interested to see Edmonton's proposal for a deal including Eberle going the other way. I think there's potential for a deal to be made.

I would even include Zibanejad in a potential deal, but Edmonton would have to sweeten that pot.

Either

OTT: Eberle
EDM: Zibanejad + Cowen

or

OTT: Eberle +
EDM: Methot + Zibanejad

- Jordo


I don't know about either of those. I think Ziba plays a pretty key role for us now and certainly going forward.

I look at smith, neil, greening, condra, chiasson, michalek, legwand as expendable/movable forwards. I think that only smith, chiasson and legwand have any value - with maybe condra having a little. I'd try to hang on to our others.

Doesn't get us much.

If it's a trade for an impact player (which, I suppose Eberle is), I would give up one of our good players, prospect and pick.

Unfortunately there's nothing on the Sens roster I'd exchange for Eberle that would make sense for both sides

No we're definitely not looking for a quality for quantity type of deal. If anything the other way around us packaging a bunch of assets up for a 1st pairing dman.

Look at the snow we got in NYC. That cruise ship floated in and froze with wolves in it and (frank)in Jake Gyllenhaal showed up. Crazy.

A deal surrounding Methot + Zib and Eberle would be pretty intriguing to me actually.

That's the problem with Oilers fans.. You guys want a #2 D man like Methot but you're not willing to deal the big 4. no one wants anyone on that team unless their names are Eberle, Hall, RNH or Yakupov.

Yes i know they're all young but somethings gotta give.

To Ott: Eberle
To Edm: Methot, Z.Smith, Dal 2nd rounder 2014 (currently sits at 35th overall)

2nd pairing D with 60 games left on his contract (who apparently wants big money), and a guy who's proven to be nothing more than a 3C at this point?

I wouldn't. Top 3 D or nothing for me

Because Methot isn't a #2D. They need a minute munching top pairing guy, not another 2nd pair.

Just awful proposal

i agree. methot + zbad for eberle would be a nice trade, although we definitely need a defenceman. with eberle, might free up murray to try and deal our veterans.

our d needs work.

Methot isn't a #2 unless he's playing with an elite dman like Karlsson and we don't have one of those for him to play with here. He's a top 4 but we need top pairing. On top of that he's a pending UFA. So essentially after he leaves in the offseason we get a 3rd line center and a 2nd rounder for Eberle??? No thanks. But we'll never be a good team unless we're willing to trade a first line winger for crap. Gimme a break

To Edm: Methot + Chaisson + Dal 2nd (top 40 pick)
To Ott: Eberle

Edm could use the Methot in their top pair and Chaisson would give them size in their top 6.

It looks like it's going to be another big draft day for Edm come june. having another high pick couldn't hurt their rebuild.
