This is my final kick at the second overall cat!

To Edm-
2nd overall
Ryder

To Bos-
Hemsky
Eberle
2nd rounder(nas)

Chia is not trading it

bahahahahah

He said he was going to draft one of the two forwards in the draft. That pick isn't going anywhere!

Just Stop

dont think edmonton wants to give up on Eberle

Bad trade for both teams

Who will play on our right wing next year?

its not going to happen already get over it. hemsky is worth more then #2 proven nhler, eberle who is going to be maybe just as good has tons of potential. i wouldnt do this imo

On the bright side, at least this is the last one of these we'll have to deal with.

tomorrow cant come soon enough. rexall oilers draft party here i come lol

I thought the value was almost there, I think it is a little of an overpayment on our part but that is what it would take, i know bos gm would not trade the pick but what is it really worth? I cant see it being much more than what i offered

This is my final kick at the second overall cat!

Good - because you pulled a Charlie Brown on this one.

Bruins want what the Oilers want for their #1 overall pick, a superstar. Malkin, Crosby, Getzlaf, Doughty, Keith, etc.

even if thats value mistake from our part imo but who knows maybe hemsky doesnt resign in 2 years, but no way eberle goes anywhere. hard to say what value is maybe ones a bust

lol something we dont have

One more sleep and it will all be over. Let the B's have Sguin. I've been a Hall supporter from day 1, but after that behind the scenes TSN documentary I have even less interest in Seguin. Not saying he won't be a great player, but that guy is as narcissistic as it gets. I wouldn't give up the package you proposed, much rather keep Hemmer and Eberle plus 48th.

Nah, I'll be perfectly happy with Eberle and Hall. 2 winners.

i'm hall all the way

plus they played for canada together just a good combo

You know, I don't think I'll ever understand comments like this. Don't any of you ever lift your heads and realize that you are logged onto a HOCKEY CHAT BOARD??? None of us are GMs of a real NHL club nor is the OP actually proposing this to Peter Chiarelli. Whether we all say "Yaaaay, great proposal" or "Boooo, that sucks" has nothing to do with what is going to happen tomorrow in reality. So why make comments like "The GM said he is keeping the pick"? What does that have to do with anything? These are questions about value, nothing more. So if you don't think there is enough value in the OPs proposal, fine but I just hate responses like those above.

bahahahahah

What's so funny? Boston would be getting the top prospect of the year along with a star player on a great contract. Don't see anything laughable about it.

Chiarelli clearly stated today that he will not be trading the pick.

I could not agree more

Chiarelli clearly stated today that he will not be trading the pick.Right....and a GM would never bluff to boost the value if a rival GM has expressed interest in the pick

The Bruins will say yes if the Oilers add the #1 pick as well :)

I really can't see Edmonton trading away a prospect like Eberle (or MPS for that matter)... before they even see what they can do on the ice. They are young, great prospects to rebuild a team around and you don't go trading them away just to get another potential prospect who could be better or worse in the long run.

Hemsky or Penner or any other roster player are tradable but not MPS or Eberle. Those guys are young and have every chance of being as good or better than both Hall and Seguin. In fact Hall/Seguin may not even turn out as good as Hemsky or Penner but at least when you trade veterans you have seen them play and can better evaluate the risk:reward ratio of the trade. Veterans also have fixed term contracts that will be expiring in x years which makes them slightly more expendable because you know they will likely command higher prices when it comes to resigning them or they may simply want out of Edmonton at the end of their deals... so trading veterans is always going to be preferable to trading good young prospects.

If Boston won't trade the #2 pick for a veteran like Hemsky/Penner+ then let them have their #2 pick after the Oilers choose their #1 and be done with it. The Oilers still have a good solid 31st pick to play with... either trade that with a roster player or two and move up into the 1st or just select at 31st and likely get a decent prospect as well.

Definitely don't go selling the eggs before they are even hatched though... that's just silly.

Youre Crazy Eberle would be better than both hall and sequin

No thanks. This will make Cogs and Moreau are first 2 RWers. Dont want to trade Hemsky unless for a top 4 pick straight up.

I'd take this and run if I were Boston. Hemsky and Eberle? Why the heck not..

Hemsky and Eberle were offered for the 2nd overall pick, and we said no. I guess that means PC really isn't trading it.

Lets keep in mind the deal Tambi allegedly proposed is just a rumor....

Oilers would be better off taking considerations from the Bruins to swap Picks (a future
1st) and take Seguin, then making a move to pick up the CBJ 1st pick (with Filatov and Kesla) using Gagner and Hemsky..
Gagner, Hemsky and Nash would be a very good line.

I think Columbus would prefer to just have Brassard and Gudbranson/Gormley/Fowler.

Having Hemsky and Gagner doesnt address any of Columbus' core needs, not to mention it doesnt make much sense for Edmonton to offer such a deal.

To BOS:
R Hemsky, Ales 83 $4.1M ('12 UFA)
L Penner, Dustin 82 $4.25M ('12 UFA)
31st & 48th overall pick '10

To EDM:
2nd overall pick '10
G Thomas, Tim 74 $5M ('13 UFA)
R Ryder, Michael 80 $4M ('11 UFA)
