You have some nice depth on defense, so that deal makes sense for you.
I've been trying to acquire Eberle. The other GM has asked me for Trouba many times and I'm pretty sure I could complete a deal acquiring Eberle for Trouba and Palat. My keeper league, seen in sig, has the ability to "keep" up to 15 players. I like Palat as a depth LW. Good for 50-60 with nice +/-. Trouba has long been touted on these boards, but how many years of waiting before he can hit that 55pt+ season? Will it ever come in Winnipeg?
Would you do this deal?

I agree with Seadawg and think your defense is pretty solid and that Eberle shores up your wing position quite well despite losing Palat. Any chance he would accept an offer of Trouba and Maroon? I would do either deal, but I like Palat better than Maroon.

A 55+ season from a dman is very rare...
You don't want to base your evaluation of this trade on the possibility that Trouba will reach these numbers, even if he's a very good prospect.
With Buff and Enstrom, it might even be difficult for him to reach 45 so it's all conjecture right now.
I think that the price tag on Eberle is pretty low due to the toxic environment in Edmonton. I don't think he'll get back to a PPG, but a 65 points player is valuable in any league.
Trouba + Maroon would be a great price to acquire Eberle, if he bites.
