if the Sens continue to struggle a bit I will bet these two teams make a deal. Buckle up.

Suter/Keith/Weber are nearly impossible to acquire. Yandle not so much. This is partially due to OEL's emergence but more so because he really isn't the defensive force the others listed are (though I'm sure he can be a solid top pairing guy with the right partner).

and poor d. perron is still crying himself to sleep after his unfortunate turn of events this summer.
I still think this team is three years from making the playoffs.
Weber would take Hall and Eberle, and I'd easily pay that for Weber.
Perron is amazing. If the whole team was made of players like him the Oilers would be a beast. Can tell he comes from a team that knows how to play actual NHL level hockey.
Sure it might be silly, but I am just regurgitating the thoughts of others.
Adam Proteau of the Hockey News: Proteau thinks it may be time for the Predators to trade defenseman Shea Weber. Weber carries a $7.8 million cap hit until 2026. Pekka Rinne is out a month and their replacements have played in three NHL games. They are second worst in goals per game, 2.27. Trading Weber for offense help could help their perennial problem in scoring. Losing Weber would hurt their blueline in the short-term, but Seth Jones could be a franchise defenseman. GM David Poile could get a haul for Weber. The Flyers were willing to lose four first round draft picks when they signed him to an offer sheet. What would they offer now? What would the Oilers offer? Proteau would start with either Ryan Nugent-Hopkins or Taylor Hall. Weber doesn’t have a no-trade clause.

Sounds like Proteau's just spitballing in the same way we are. Nothing there of any substance.

I'm not sure Jones really makes Weber expendable either as NSH system is built around strong D. The more the merrier.
Yak++ is a decent starting point. Not so sure Oilers management is willing to admit they are panicking to the point of dangling Nuge or Hall yet.
If NSH management is seriously thinking that at some point maybe Weber will have to go they should try playing Jones and Josi together to see if they can form a formidable #1 pairing.
Yandle would still be a welcomed addition to the blueline though and can essentially kill 2 birds with 1 stone ie top PP QB as well as legitimate top 4 dman. If we could acquire him, it could make Schultz expendable and we could use him as trade bait? But unless we already had something in place to do so, I'd be wary of giving up a top forward for Yandle.
The way I see it Schultz, Petry, Smid, Ference, MAYBE Belov could be here for the foreseeable future and hopefully Klefbom and Nurse will become legit NHL calibre dmen in that time too so we should be careful for the price we pay to improve our D unless it's a very clear upgrade. No more depth acquisitions on the back end please.
