Before the Oilers can really move on as a winning team, they need a top-six right winger. Jordan Eberle is not living up to expectations, and the team lacks a high-scoring winger to work with their top-six centres. Therefore, Eaves would be the perfect fit.
The 32-year-old has 19 goals and 33 points in 53 games this season. Not only can he find the back of the net, but he possesses a solid frame (6-foot, 200 pounds) and physicality. He can play a solid two-way game and boasts a 4.9 relative Fenwick. With him, the Oilers could not only acquire a top-six winger but a solid penalty-killer and two-way forward.
