The only reason the isles are looking at moving one of those 2 is because they will get claimed - hence they will need to be moved before the exp. Draft.

Ok, my rant is done.
If the Oilers moved Eberle they could go the 4-4-1 route easily

Draisaitl, Lucic, Nuge, Maroon - Larson, Klefbom, Sekera, Dman, Talbot
