My guess is that the Oilers will move Nugent-Hopkins and/or Eberle for defence, and then use the #4 pick to take Dubois to replace the guy they traded on the depth chart.

I really think Edmonton will trade Nugent-Hopkins plus Yakupov for a top 2 defenseman or Eberle + Yakupov and maybe a draft pick for a top 2D. I still think they will pick a D on their 4th pick. The reason I think RNH or Eberle is going to be traded is because those are the ony players that can command what they are asking for. Trading Yakupov alone will not get them what they wanted.
