I would argue that based on both being somewhat of a reclamation project of sorts (overpaid), the Oilers will be hard-pressed to find takers. A team has to be very offensively challenged to try and go that route. Maybe Vegas?

Last I heard in the rumor mill is that the Blues may have interest in Eberle. I'm sure salary would have to come back the Oilers way for that to work but it just goes to show that there will always be takers for guys that are 20 goal, 50 point players and for a lot of teams that feel they need to improve their offense the two years left on his deal isn't that bad of a risk. Heck I would take him on the Flames if the Oilers would take Brouwer in return (they won't of course).
