Oilers have no room for this guy and would probably have to add to him to unload his terrible contract.
That being said, would any team want him? He's just not a fit for this team at all.
You have to make the playoffs to win a cup.
Anything less than being one of the 2 teams to win a championship.
1 Stanley; Conf Champs
1 Conf Champ.
So we start with reg Season.
You want players who can play PvP (play the other teams best) and break even in Goal differential.

we have to unload him in a PKG:
one of the 3 longest running 20G PvP wingers in the game!
The guy has Avg 23G per season and Even goal diferential facing the other teams best under Nelson and Tmac.
Who are we suppose to replace that RW PvP Goal production with?
Talk about a complete Lack of understanding of Goal production.
As the origionator of 5 of the most critical hockey analytics theories.
And
a big believer in the Belichek way.
You want top end repetition of production in the toughest situations possible, who as they age can revert to softer comp roles.
Eberle got to face 2nd comp level in 11-12 under Renney!
78gm 34g (.436GPG) 42A (.538APG) 76p (.978PPG) +4 on a -27 Team.
Quite Frankly I grow tired of Sportsnets and TSN owned by the Toronto Maple leafs tampering with the reputation of our players!
They outright lie about our players.
Get rid of Eberle.
