Players like Eberle, Hall would be an easy trade.

If all you want to do is get rid of players, sure, it's easy to trade them. Getting value in return is the hard part.
The Oilers' most desperate need right now is for top-4 NHL defencemen. There are virtually none on the market. What they have to offer in trade are highly paid, one-dimensional offensive wingers. There's a glut of those on the market. The only way Chiarelli can fix that mess in a hurry is if he can make a trade with some other NHL GM who is as stupid as the guy that put the Oilers in that position.
