Friedman: Bruins, Flyers, Blues interested in Oilers' Eberle

Elliotte Friedman was on Calgary’s Sportsnet 960 on Friday morning.

On the Edmonton Oilers and Jordan Eberle:

“I think what they’re going to end up doing, and this is a guess for me, is they’re going to see how this all plays out. And then in the off-season, they’ll see where they end up. They’ll see what they get in the draft. And they’ll kind of make their decisions from there.

“I think if they ever put, say, Eberle on the market, I think there would be a lot of teams who would be interested that may not be able to make the move now. Like Boston. Like Philadelphia. St. Louis I think is a team that would definitely be interested. I think there would be even more.

“But I think for some of those teams, are you limiting yourself, in terms of what you can do right now, because of cap reasons. And I think if you’re going to trade that player - and the Oilers have been pretty clear it’s not going to be cornerstone guys - if you’re going to trade that player you have to make sure you can target everybody you want to target and I’m not sure they’re going to be able to do that right now.”
