Icon59 If you could only take one. Which of the Oilers "big 4" would you want on the Flames?

Jordan Eberle
Taylor Hall
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins
Nail Yakupov

If you where forced to take just one of them on the Flames who would it be? Reason behind this thread? To keep the trade speculation thread about speculation and rumors.

Hall, because he's a Flames fan. We need to rescue him.

RNH if picking based on positional need/potential, Hall for BPA

Eberle, because he always scores the prettiest goals against us. Get him off the opposition.

Are the last Big 4, Gagner, Cogliano, Nilsson and Schremp for sure off the table?

Hall, then trade him back to the oilers for Eberle and their 2015 first rounder.

I'd take RNH for his create and potentially elevate the game of those around him.

Woah, would have thought Eberle would be unanimous. RNH is soft, Hall has zero hockey sense and Yak is a little punk.

Hall>RNH>Eberle>Yakupov if we get them for free. But given the likely price to acquire them Eberle would probably be at the top for me

I actually think Yak is getting a raw deal. Hall's yells at him like like he thinks some kind of veteran superstar. He should remember he's only been in the league 3 years and had everything handed to him on a silver platter with everybody constantly blowing smoke up his @$$. Yak is being treated worse by Eakins than Baerstchi by Hartley. Let the kid gain some confidence and he'll be alright.

Ya I don't understand the love for Hall. He gets points, but has zero idea how to utilize any of his linemates and with how reckless he plays he'll be an injury concern his whole career

I see Eberle being the best of that bunch in 5 years or so, he seems like the more complete player

Eberle
Hall
Yakupov
Hopkins

In that order. Hopkin's shoulder and 12 year old body won't last 2 seasons in this league.
