Oilers looking to trade for their former 2008 first round pick

According to a report from Insider Frank Seravalli, the Edmonton Oilers are still pushing hard to acquire their former first-round pick Jordan Eberle.

In his post, Seravalli reveals that the Kraken and Eberle are talking extension, but at this point it doesn't appear as though anything is imminent. If they can't work out a deal by Friday's deadline, he will be moved, and that should be music to the ears of Oilers fans.

In 58 games this season, Eberle has tallied 14 goals and 37 points, so while he's not the player he was the first time around with the Oilers, he would be perfect anywhere in their lineup, and with the versatility and goal scoring ability, he may be the piece needed for this team to make a run.

It's unclear exactly what the team are offering Seattle, as they have already moved their 2024 first-round pick, but with the contracts of Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid coming up, they're clearly going all in for a Stanley Cup.
