Soderberg and Colborne are both coming off 1 **** year in which every player on the Avs underperformed.
Eberle is coming off a mediocre year but has been declining points-wise every year since 2013-14.
Soderberg is typically a high-end 3C (points-wise) while Colborne looks to be a fairly solid 3C (points-wise) though nothing spectacular.
To suggest that Eberle, who only managed 51 points this year, even though he had a number of games with McDavid, and was constantly demoted in the playoffs, is worth more than a 3C straight-up at this point is absurd.
A 3C that managed 14 points and has 3 years left at 4.75? Or softer than baby **** Joe Colborne, who at one point went like 65 games without a goal? Retain max on both and I'd still say hell no.
Thanking my lucky stars you're not our GM. I know you don't like Eberle for some deep personal vendetta but to say he's not worth more than 32 year old 14 point Carl Soderberg is absurd.
The last thing we need are depth players from horrible hockey teams.
