I don't know why people think Eberle is going to become a better player now that he's with Tavares. He's still good though and only getting Strome in return seems bad.

Eberle had a down year and still put up 51 points. Surely he produces at least 60 when he plays with the Islanders.

I think it's fair to say Eberle will be the most talented winger Tavares has ever played with (possibly excepting maybe Okposo who was good and skilled but in different ways)

I would've flipped my poo poo if the isles gave up Hamonic for Eberle, but strome for Eberle straight up loving owns

Strome still has a chance to be good, he has to get his head right and actually come to play every night but the skill and hockey iq are there.

Now get duchene or galchenyuk and let's get Tavares re-signed for a lifetime plz

This is actually a good defense for Knights. Bad defenders will actually debilitate the other team's offense.

The last time the Oilers traded a really good winger for a really bad return, they did better than they were expected to. So surely McDavid will put up 120 points and Talbot will win the Vezina as the Oilers win the Stanley Cup and Peter Chiarelli wins GM of the Year, making the heads of every person explode.

I also have full confidence the Islanders will make the playoffs in 2018, in addition to re-signing Tavares.

I guess that's not a god awful trade but oh man if I was an oilers fan I would be real nervous with Chiarelli behind the reins

As a Penguins fan, it pleases me greatly that there's a serious possibility that poor roster management might be a real limiting factor to McDavid ever getting close to achieving a legacy like Crosby

Alternatively, it's because of poor roster management that McDavid ends up being considered greater than Crosby because he has to work that much harder to make his team better, unlike Crosby.

honestly if mcphee trades away all the halfway decent guys he drafted that aren't young enough to still be impactful when the team has a chance at relevancy 3-4 years down the line that's... maybe a good idea?

I don't think there are any top D available but people keep circling around Arizona and what it'd cost them to acquire Stepan (probably a 1st round pick and one of their young forwards)

"Hey George, we'd really like Schlemko but I dunno man we're kinda tapped out on draft picks. We'd love to offer a 2nd rounder but I think a 5th is as high as we could go. Wait what you'll actually do that uhhhh ok sold"

McPhee is still drunk from a party last night, right? A 5th round pick?!

e: I'm forming an idea that the whole Vegas Knights GM job is a revenge angle from McPhee to stick it to the Caps. He's going to hand out quality defensemen like candy while the Caps search in vain to replace Nate Schmidt.

I mean I guess Strome has actual talent but you'd figure the Oilers would remember the last time they traded for a formerly highly-touted Islanders prospect with lingering skating issues and think twice.
