This is a hockey trade brought about by cap concerns. I think it works for both teams. Let me know what you guys think.

If Strome plays with Mcdavid(Which he wont) he could score 50 points
For all you Eberle whiners sit back and relax…let me guess your the same people who had menstral cramps when Hall for Larsen trade took place…players strive in different roles and cities, maybe not this one but you never know…let's talk by December and see how things are going….then piss n moan if you don't like what you see.
Hey, I'm not sure if it's your video or my phone that I'm using to watch your video right now but the audio de-synced with the video. It wasn't egregious or anything but you where definitely still moving your mouth in video while the audio had already finished. I just wanted to give you the heads up incase it's not the YouTube app on my phone that's responsible.
good stuff. happy about Ryan Strome as a new oiler
Great Video. They actually lost Reinhart and a 1st round pick when they traded for him!!!
taylor hall is top talent when not injured , when healthy good for 75+ points
i feel like whenever someone reasonable is moved you always compare it to the outcome with the canucks if he was there or you wish he would go to the canucks lol no hate meant
Sorry to see Eberle got traded. His hockey IQ was second only to connor in that dressing room. His hands. Stickhandling. His shot.
In playoffs? He hit post like three or four times? Got absolutely robbed just as many times!
If half those go in? Oilers were into the final.
Pouliot is the cheapest weak sauce guy in oil country. Hate that guy!!
Go Cagguila!!!
how RNH is still on this team and Eberle and Hall were the first to be moved is mindboggling.
Strome's cap hit this year is only 2.5 so the oil saved 3.5, and the oil get younger. Certainly a trade that makes sense from both sides. I'll only be upset if the saved money is used on a massive Russell contract in the 4×4 range.
Really hard to see my favourite player of the last 6-7 years get traded but hopefully he does great with Tavares on the island
John Tavares and Jordan Eberle played together at the World Juniors. This is not that tournament no more, but could be great combo. Too bad some fans in the building can't see it due to cut off sidelines. (Just had to throw that in there)
Puloit needs too go 4 million for him what Maroons better and he's only at 1 million at the moment
Hall vs Seguin lol
No way they trade both Nuge and Ebs, they love Nuge in Edmonton
I agree, this is a pretty good trade for both teams, and it does make sense for salary cap reasons. It also answers my question for why the Islanders did what they did yesterday.
The Islanders add themselves another potential weapon on their right wing, and I think Eberle can pick up where Okposo left off, cause the Islanders look like they really missed Okposo last season. This is a potentially dangerous first line by putting Eberle with Lee and Tavares together.
The Oilers need cap room to sign McDavid and Draisaitl, and Strome is a relatively cheap option for their forward corps. He's no Eberle, but Strome is still a decent second or third line forward. He will be a good fit on Draisaitl's wing, assuming he does becomes their second line center.
Just my two cents.
Stromer is a really good player, young and only going to get better, i personally think Edmonton won this trade. I cant see Eberle make any big diffrence with the Islanders. And his contract is out of this world.
In juniors Eberle was money in big games. I don't think it's fair to knock him for one bad playoffs. But ya his salary was an issue.
Rick Nash types
Is it really Ironic that I look for this guys opinion as much as the top sportsnet people?
we made out like a bandit with Reinhardt, Yamamoto, signed Russel, what a couple of days! Hockey is not the same game it was five years ago and eberle's juke is fooling nobody. If I was playing with McDavid I'd get ten goals myself, so yeah cap hit was not happening. Ciareli has yet to be proven wrong on any move whatsoever, I think he made hits at every at bat with these moves aswell
It's kind of a weird trade. Strome has history with McDavid and Eberle has history with Tavares.
Hall is league MVP and Eberle put up 60 pts. Nice job Chia.
Hall now has a Hart, so …
Snow let Tavares walk for nothing
