Why The 2017 Jordan Eberle Trade Still Looks Like A Bad Deal For The Oilers | NHL Trade Trees

[@gobitzgames3704]

The Oilers: Man if only we had wingers to play with McDavid Also the Oilers: Traded Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle SMH

[@jt1395]

Yeah because fans got pissed at them when they weren't the problem. Then management listened to those fans and created one hole to fill another.

[@pwnedeful]

Well tbh either Hall or Eberle had to go. they couldn't afford them hall with Lucic and others on the books and Draisaitl, and Mcdavid needing contracts

[@gobitzgames3704]

@@pwnedeful If the leafs can afford Tavares, Matthews, Marner, and Nylander at 11,11,10.5, and 7 the Oilers could have easily afforded McDavid, Draisaitl, Holl and Eberle at 12.5, 8.5,6, and 6...

[@pwnedeful]

@@gobitzgames3704 yeah but you wont win a cup with having that much of your cap containing 6 players. Who does toronto have on defence other than rielly? Muzzin and brodie are entering their decline and bogosian is just for some toughness. Edmonton is still up against the cap and they still have trouble with depth scoring

[@gobitzgames3704]

@@pwnedeful Dude my entire point is they could have ran with those guys for significantly less than what the leafs are doing. Saying they couldnt afford them all so it was inevitable they had to go is BS they absolutely could have ran with those guys and had a chance at a cup.

[@zaidemercier9090]

As an oiler fan this trade always breaks my heart

[@viteksvub5751]

As a wings fan i think that if oilers re-sign Athanasiou they could be better because he was good in red wings and if they will re-sign him he will be even better with oilers

[@bradydirsa]

As a eberle die hard n oilers die hard makes me cry

[@Jame5man]

I love this trade tree. Edmonton constantly traded down before basically trading laterally.

[@AlexTheOilersFan]

What sucks most about Strome being dealt away from Edmonton was the fact that it was the first in 3 “I have to save my job” trades be Chiarelli. The other two? Caggiula for BRANDON MANNING and acquiring Petrovic. Strome really never got a fair shake in Edmonton, and the fans are to blame as much as management is. Many of them were calling for Eberle to be traded after the playoffs and they continue to do it. As well, I gotta really feel for Athanasiou. He may not have gotten a point vs Chicago, but he was one of 3-4 guys who actually bothered to show up and compete. He just couldn’t bury one.

I think perhaps the worst part is that Strome has done significantly better the last 2 seasons than Eberle has. If the Oilers held onto Strome and let him play top 6 minutes with mcdavid or draisaitl they very well could have come out of this trade as winners.

[@randomaccount2.051]

Reinhart > Bumzel

[@Mcdavidsburner]

The eberle trade hurt a lot... he was the 2nd line forward the oilers so desperate need. He was really bad in the play offs but it was tough to see him go for nothing :/

[@forktrus]

Till the day I die I'll remember that World Jr. Eberle goal -- but not just cause of him. Ryan Ellis made an absolutely bonkers play at the blueline seconds before that to keep the puck in and keep that play alive. I always felt he never got the credit enough for saving the day for the guy who saved the day

T.J. Oshie trade tree (it's a fun one, with a prospect and pick being traded back, a conditional pick with "if"s from heck that never came to be, and a great job of the Blues to build their roster over a number of trades)

[@VINsational331]

You should do GM trees. Like the ripple effects that result from decisions that GMs made long after they're fired. It's kind of similar to trade trees but opens it up to include questionable draft picks or free agent signings.

Hard to understand why guys who just make you better (Reimer, Eberle) are so under-appreciated by their original teams.

[@nadrodan9613]

Jordan Eberly was traded because oilers wanted to sign Lucic to a 6 million dollar deal so if we never signed lucic we would still be able to have eberly and we wouldn’t have Neal

[@AlexTheOilersFan]

Lucic was signed as a Free Agent on July 1st 2016. Eberle was traded in 2017. Lucic was signed before Eberle was traded. The trade was, supposedly, to make room for Connor and Leon’s extensions.

Dangle, I think a good trade tree is the Blues trading Oshie to Washington. In a way, it helped both teams win the Cup. Especially once all the branches are revealed.

[@shjoncampbell6754]

While that trade did get the Blues ROR, I think a just as important one. Is the trade way back when the blues traded Shanahan to the Whalers for Pronger. Yeah. That long ago. But THAT trade got the Blues the pick that gave them Jordan BINNINGTON. Just as important. Also got the Canes their cup down the line. Also helped the Red wings to a cup or two I think...

Response: Phil Kessel trade. Just reviewing it too: the trade of both Lucic and Hamilton almost simultaneous at junior draft for: C Miller, M Jones, 13th overall, 15th overall and 2 second rounders. it wasn't the trade of Hamilton, its what GM got for the 15th by the way Barzal played in the WHL and Calgary's pick was 15th. It could have been so much better. Eberle trade was bad, but it was a 6 mil line: Lucic, Nugent Hopkins, Eberle. Wasn't that right before McDavid's and Draisaitl's payraise? if i'm way off base don't hesitate.

So let me get this straight they traded Ebbs for Strome then traded Strome for Spooner then traded Spooner for Ganger then traded Ganger and picks for AA to not resign AA. So they traded Ebbs for nothing lovely

[@TheSpikestr]

welcome back the trade tree

[@--Autumn--]

Strome achieving career highs with panarin on his line... YEET

[@guitarmemoir]

The reason Eberle was moved is because he was scapegoated for the loss to Anaheim and thrown under the bus in the media by both the coach and GM. Everyone knew they had to move him after that. It was similar to when the Flames didn't dress Neal in the final game of the playoffs. You knew he wouldn't be back. Amazing the way the Oilers turned Eberle into less than nothing.

[@JeremiahAKAtheSportsBeard]

That John Carlson moment was one of my favorite moments as a hockey fan Steve! USA 🇺🇸!

[@KkevrockK]

This trade was addition by subtraction. His defence is non existent and he quit driving the net after signing the 6x6. The spotlight was on him the moment he didn’t light it up on Connors wing, the lack of anything in the playoffs sealed his fate. I’m honestly more disappointed in Strome being traded than Eberle.
