TSN's Dreger hints Oilers may have to explore moving Jordan Eberle
TSN's Darren Dreger was going through the struggles of the Edmonton Oilers and their needs in terms of moving forward with a winning team. And then Jordan Eberle's name came up.
As Dreger listed off the holes in the Oilers' lineup, he said they would be looking for three to four defensemen, as well as goaltending help. But since their needs are substantial, a trade won't help unless they are willing to give up someone significant.
"Teams call about Eberle all the time," he said during the Oilers-Penguins intermission on Friday. "They don't want to move a piece of that core, but they may not have a choice."
