AlaskaFlyerFan Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 And The Oilers Are In South Philly Tomorrow. Hnmmm...I would get a chubby if Eberle was in Orange & Black. I would trade half the team for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isaiah520 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 RT @Sportsnet: As per @SportsnetSpec, #Oilers and #Flyers believed to be working on trade involving Wayne Simmonds. http://ow.ly/qE3zb … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pensuck Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 Wayne Simmonds Is Not The Problem Here. He's Cap Friendly And Still Young. I hate To Lose him. the Oilers Are Quite High On Him From What I've Read.They Also Need A Dman . I Wish We Could Dump Hartnell Somehow, He's Just Terrible.

doom88 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I would be okay with trading Simmonds for the right return. He is young and works hard, but has some serious stone hands in space. Maybe that improves later? I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I'd hate to trade Simmonds. What about Coburn (they've coveted him for a couple of years now) Hartnell (he'd add grit to a soft forward lineup) and say a 2nd (right now that's a late 1st) and Cousins for Eberle and Hemsky (Oilers get rid of a bad contract and it evens up the caphits)? I know as a Flyer fan I'd do it. It's hard to say if Coburn and Hartnell are what they want or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brelic Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 So in that Sportsnet article, the names being mentioned are Simmonds and L Schenn for Eberle and Hemsky. Which really means, we traded JVR for a slow-moving L Schenn who we're looking to trade for a JVR-type player we shouldn't have traded in the first place. You can't make this stuff up. I wonder if we'll see a game-time dressing room swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doom88 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Coburn is sorely underrated on this forum. He didn't hit his full potential, but he can play well up to and including #2. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 @doom88 I actually don't mind Coburn. I'm with you...he gets a lot of hate on here because he's playing out of his depth (he's NOT a #1). But Eberle is a really good young player and Edmonton has coveted Coburn.

doom88 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Okay, but let's not lose value in Coburn for the sake of a trade. I'd try straight up for Eberle, and include Simmonds if a pick of some value was coming back. The Flyers don't have to trade Coburn, and he's signed to a reasonable contract. Might as well play fair, but hardball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polaris922 Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I like Coburn, but him plus dead weight isn't getting you Eberle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 @Polaris922 I agree. But Edmonton needs some grit up front and Hartnell can provide that. He's also proven he can score, and Edmonton has plenty of playmaking ability. Also a 2nd round pick isn't "dead weight" and neither is Cousins. And Hemsky would be coming back the other way as well, which benefits the Oilers. Not to mention, they covet Coburn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aziz Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 @flyercanuck everything else aside, i can't see hartnell agreeing to go to edmonton. they are a terrible team, arguably worse than the flyers, and, well, it's edmonton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 @aziz While most NHLers aren't beating a path there, Hartnell does hail from that neck of the woods, and played his junior hockey fairly close to there. In other words he wouldn't be out of his realm there. Hey, Pronger went there. And Hartnell doesn't have a wife to tell him what to do.

Jam1986 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Hartnell is from the area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreakinFlyersFan Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Could the Flyers package Hartnell and Cousins with maybe a 2nd rounder(2015) for Eberle. I would say Simmonds but his presence in front of the opponents net is a must.It looks to me that the Oilers are looking for a veteran player to guide their youth.

mojo1917 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I would say Simmonds but his presence in front of the opponents net is a must. perhaps he will start finding his way to the front of the net soon ? yes ? He hasn't spent much time there this year except for an occasional power play. I am of the opinion that we have seen Simmonds ceiling , and while i like him, i don't see the hands that makes me think he's a consistent 30 goal scorer. He's not a guy i keep at all costs. if the right deal presents itself I would trade him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Hemsky would be coming back the other way as well, which benefits the Oilers. Not to mention, they covet Coburn.I get your point but... Right now Hartnell IS dead weight. And Cousins isn't exactly top flight prospect. Unproven commodity at best. I can't explain yet they covet Coburn, or find any real evidence that they do other than Philly media, which all you guys say to never believe. Eberle is a talent, and he'll fetch more than that.

flyercanuck Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Hartnell is a proven physical presence/goal scorer/wreaker of havoc. In other words, exactly what Edmonton needs. Coburn is a good defenceman. In other words, exactly what Edmonton needs. Yes Hartnell is having a bad season along with most of his teammates. And I'm not getting the "Coburn coveted" from the Philly media, I pay little attention to it. Philly gets a top 6 forward and a bad contract. Edmonton gets a top 6 forward, the defenceman they badly need, a 2nd and a prospect. Lets face it....most trades that are actually made would get shot down by fans prior to them happening.
