Edmonton offseason:
Eberle for (mtl) Galchenyuk and 2nd rnd pick
This trade works for both sides
Mtl gets a productive winger to play on there first line for some much needed scoring
Edmonton has been trying to find someone to play with yak to make him as productive as he should be and galchenyuk and yak played on a line in jr for the Sarnia sting where they had great chemistry. This will likely make both players more productive and could be a scary line in the future as they develop. And a second round pick.
Draisitl for (pit) Maata, dumoulin and bennett
This trade also helps both sides
Pitsburgh gets a much needed elite centerman prospect
Edmonton gets a young stud defender in maata, a solid defense prospect in dumoulin and a promising young skilled gritty forward in bennette
Lines
Bennette-Mcdavid-Hall
Yak-RNH-galchenyuk
Percell-Lander-Pouliot
Fraser-Roy-Klinkhammer
Maata-Nurse
Dumoulin-Klefbom
Schultz-Marincin/Aulie
Thoughts?

Eberle isn't worth Gal and a 2nd. Possibly a straight-across trade, but I doubt MTL would do it anyway.
And Pitts doesn't need a center prospect. Crosby, Malkin, Sutter is a pretty solid trio. Can't see them moving Maatta either, he is their best young Dman and it's the defense that needs work in Pittsburgh.

chirp. if bergiven got a call from chirelli saying hey, how bout gally for eberle? you don't think bergiven would say yes and hang up without question you're kidding yourself.
gally has done next to nothing with every opportunity

Ovie This trade is worth nothing galchenyuk has made the more point of the 2012 class never are we going to trade for eberle with chucky!
The only one on one would be with hall

Maata is the only real improvement to the team and it's unlikely they trade him

I dunno, Ovie. Eberle is a quality winger and Gal hasn't exploded out of the gates but has been pretty decent thus far and he's also a center. Gal and a 2nd is definitely an overpayment but straight-across might be valid. Thing is, I'm sure MTL is looking to slot Gal into the 1/2 C position in a year or two once Plekanec ages and slows down. C is a valuable position and I don't see MTL giving him up that easily.
Besides, what does Edm need with another C? They barely have room for Draisaitl at the moment.
I get your point tho, Ovie. It's a tough call.
I like that there are a least a couple people with hockey smarts on this board. And you're a leafs fan too! Whoda thunk that was possible? :P

If i'm mtl, I keep galchenyuk over eberle

I would like to see the Oilers use their 16th pick to acquire Sharp from the Hawks and sign Soderberg. Would make for a more complete offense.
Hall-McDavid-Eberle
Sharp-Nuge-Yakupov
Puoliot-Soderber-Purcell
Hendricks-Gordon-Pitlick/Fraser

Chirp. You are right. Eberle isn't worth Galchenyuk and a second. Eberle is worth a PILE more. Whatcha got there is called in most circles a "good start".

Gally.os garage man had done nothing to this point. Montreal will pay a lot more to get eberle.
Try fucale, tinordi, 1st in 2015

The reaso. Of ghe trade is so gally co.e and playes with yak

Eberle only had 4 more goals than Gally last season, and he comes with huge cap hit and is small and not potential #1 centre. how does this help Habs?
