News Came out recently that Travis hamonic from the new york islanders has requested a trade to subjectively a western hockey team for reasons that are personal (Something to do with family or what not).
Here is what is going to happen. Edmonton will trade for a Right shot D-man before Christmas time. Peter chiarelli is currently in talks with NY islanders for the travis hamonic trade. NY was asking for Either Nurse or Klef in that trade talk. So right now in this moment I believe chiarelli is talking with oilers management team, He is waiting it out for a bit. I don`t believe eberle will be traded, He is just to proven of a player and Personally we will have to see mcdavid with eberle once Mcdavid gets healthy. There is going to be big moves coming up soon. Peter will not hesitate to improve the oilers, weather sooner or later. A move will happen before Christmas, That is just my honest %100 Belief. By next year this team will be much improved.
Peter is not only talking with NY, He is talking with other teams. I don`t know exactly what teams, but he is looking for that top 2 or 4 d-man of the future, to secure our Defense.
Peter is looking at yakupov wondering if he fits for the future, and now that we see that leon drai is playing like he is (14 points in 9 games), We are definitely looking at some moves happening. The moves that will come soon will be about the future and the now. The trades will happen to make sure there will be enough cap space for future signings of Nurse, Mcdavid and Leon, but as well to improve the defense that we so Strongly need (we all know this) . Leon could be traded but that is not going to happen right now, it would more so happen just before he has to be resigned for a bigger NHL lvl Contract. Leon would more then likely be traded next year at the draft or in the off season, I just don`t see it happening right now or this season. Leon is just to good right now.
Schultz will be in talk for trades, draft picks and prospects will also be in talks for a deal coming soon. I believe 4 teams are currently talking with NY islanders over the Hamonic trade and I honestly Believe Edmonton will get hamonic. Peter wants this player, But NY has asked a bit to much, They want Nurse or Klef, probably a pick or even instead, giving up Sekera + a prospect or a draft pick for travis hamonic (sekera being traded is way to early, He needs to be with the team for at-least half a season, but it`s still possible he gets traded).
I would love to see Justin Schultz + a draft pick(s) and/Or a prospect for Hamonic straight across, but you have to wonder if NY wants a player that is Going through a test season with Edmonton to see if they want to resign him next year. Is this a good idea for NY to get a player that might not even sign with them the next year? No, So I believe schultz + for travis won`t happen, you would have to give up more then just schultz, maybe even give up another D-man or D prospect. NY wants a equal value of a defender in order to deal this trade. So this leaves, Nurse, Kleb and sekera in the mix for the trade. As wishful thinking as this sounds, I believe it is likely to happen, but if not There will definitely be a trade for a d-man by this new year.
