Strange trade for the Oilers but I assume teams weren't offering decent defensemen for Eberle and this deal opens up some cap space. Strome did have that one good season so I imagine there's some potential there. Good trade for both teams as Eberle should do better out east and the Oilers can now break the bank long term for Russell (probably going to hurt them in the long run but they need him to salvage the upcoming season).
