Please say yes. Give us OEL!
Call me crazy, but I think that the trade for Rundblad is setting up the stage for something else. They are now loaded with a ton of d-prospects knowing (I think anyways) that there are a lot of teams out there that are short of young stud defenseman. Just looking for opinions on this and possible scenarios. My hope is that OEL is on his way to Edmonton in a Hemsky like trade. Just my opinion of course. Anyone else? Happy Holidays!!!

I think the fact Rundblad has been with 3 different organizations in about 2 1/2 years says something about him and his character. I might be looking into it too much but if your traded that often there has to be something up? Doesnt there?

I mentioned this in the trade thread but I would be curious to see if we see a deal surrounding a package with Schenn from the Flyers to the Coyotes for OEL.
Have a bit of trouble gauging OELs full NHL value on my end, but I think C is a position that the Coyotes desperately have to address. They have absolutely no depth there unless I'm forgetting someone all I see is Hanzal and O'Reilly (who still has something to prove). Langkow isn't getting any younger.
Would also address the Flyers need for a young defender which they definitely need now with Pronger's career (not to mention quality of life) in jeopardy.

Maybe it was just shower room ***** envy. I mean if we are just grasping for reasons I guess any reason goes right?

Couldn't agree more Jake44. That was the first thing I said when I heard about the trade.
The Coyotes needed 2 things from trading Turris-
1. immediate help
2. a center
This trade addresses neither. The last thing they needed was another offensive defenceman prospect. I think part two is on it's way.
Not sure who will move but expect it to be from the back end for what they really need- a center.

Either way, there are plenty of suitors for young stud defence. I think it will be sooner than later. If they wait too long, the trade deadline will be near and teams who are officially out of the playoffs will be throwing players (defense) in the trade ring as well. If Suter or Weber become available, all attention will be on them and not the Coyotes young defenders. Better to make the move now while everyone is thirsty.
