Here's a thought:
A)I have read many times that fans are concerned that Taylor Hall will eventually ask for a trade because he is unhappy .
B)I have heard several times that if the Oilers trade ( or hold accountable) His buddies Eberle and Schultz that Hall will be unhappy.
C) Taylor Hall does not want to play on a loser forever.
It seems to me like there are about 16 playoff teams without a Taylor Hall. In fact, last season there were probably a good 10 playoff teams without a comparable talent.
Maybe we place too much importance on ol Hallsy. Maybe the team suffered because they are too concerned with keeping him Happy?
Maybe the Oilers can improve the depth and change the culture with one massive trade?
Seriously, who builds a team around a Left Winger anyway? Oh yeah, Washington.

My gut tells me Eakins is gone before any big trade happens. Not that I'm in favor of that but just what I think happens |

Hey man, I have no problem with Ference as a number 6 d man on the Oilers, but if there are accountability issues on the Oilers at least some of that is on el Capitan. - Jeropotato
That may be true but why can't Hall stand up in the dressing room and mention this? The fans know it's his team and so do the players. |

Im willing to bet that big changes will come!!!! After the next draft!!!!!!!! - oilpatch
I think we need to explore, if not down right entertain the possibility that we have indeed bet our life savings on the wrong horse.
Not saying Hall isn't a great player but is the right player to build our team around?

Because Hall might be part of the problem? |

Well does this rebuild need a cultural change? |

Maybe, maybe not. Just trying to say the accountability issue should not be directly on Ferrence because he's the captain. |

Hard to say, with the lack of heart we already have I think sending Hallsy (one guy who shows emotion) away in a trade could put us in an even worse spot |

Bob McKenzie said there would be a trade before we fire Eakins and he is usually right... oh no what if he meant the Acton trade? |

Firstly , I bet Ference doesn't have the support or the respect to Hold Hall and his buddies accountable.
Secondly, Hallsy doesn't want to be part of the solution ( as pointed out by Perron) so how can he hold anyone accountable?

Yak has the hardest one-timer but he misses the net a fair amount. He needs to work on his shot before I would say he has the best shot. I would put both Eberle and Nuge above him based on accuracy. |

See, there you go. You're love for Hallsy makes it hard to trade him. Is Hall all that much better than Rick Nash was at his age? |

Yak may have a hard shot. But he can't pick corners and his one timer is horrible. I'm sure it'll improve but he hasn't proven to be as deadly of a shooter as we want yet |

Honestly I'm not even the biggest hall supporter. I think he makes some pretty stupid plays at times. I'd trade him today if it meant a real 1 d was coming back. Don't think any getting moved tho and I don't want to trade him/Ebs/nuge for depth guys etc . If we are trading an impact player I want one coming right back |

Oh for sure I would want either Weber or OEL coming back or a package for a 2Cand some other pieces that include a can't miss future franchise defense man like Seth Jones, MURRAY, EKBLAD, ect.
Hall for Dubinski and Murray and Jenner?
Hall for Wilson , Jones and a 1st?
Hall for Weber straight up
Hall for OEL straight up.
