back to main note, Oilers suck.

I'm not a professional, and I have no idea what goes on in that room.

But let's just assume one key player in the room wants out. Hypothetically, it's Eberle.

If we package Eberle and our 2015 1st, that's gonna return a hell of a package, I'd think. Going down that train of thought, let's say it was Keith Yandle and Antoine Vermette. There's a rationale there for both sides. I personally think as of today Edmonton gives up considerably more value, and Arizona has a couple of young dmen coming up in the world. Vermette's a UFA after this year, and Yandle after next year, so Arizona saves themselves a headache in renegotiation and maybe kicks in a sweetener.

If I'm sitting in that room, and MacT comes down and tells me a guy who wanted out is gone, and we get two veteran gamers back including by far our best defenseman, I'm stoked. Then, he says "listen boys. I traded the 1st. Forget McDavid. He's never going to be an Oiler. We're going to win without him. He does not figure into our future. What's more, we're going to win enough this year - right now - that we're not giving him up anyway".

If I'm in that room, I'd be motivated. Even if dealing picks is the furthest thing from my job. If I'm a player, I'm motivated to do my job better by a motivated management team doing their job.

I totally agree. As far as i'm concerned we should be trading that 1st to get better now. I proposed a similar trade a few days ago in one of Tanner's thread, it was Yandle + Vermette for 2015 1st + Perron/Purcell + possibly something else. My ideal was for the something else to be Shultz or Nikitin, although not sure that it would work. Anybody know what Arizona needs more LW or RW?

Agreed. Landeskog earned that by being more beautiful than the Nuge and not based on his performance.

Should have done that at the begining of the season- now that is the clear #1 pick today - doesnt make a lot of sense unless for a ransome...

I disagree, making a trade like that should put us out of the running for the top pick. We also need another 18 wonder kid like we need a kick in the head.

And so what happens if we pull a leaf and finish in the lotto anyway- most of the league looked at that - 1sts are NOT traded so easily now...
