Value of: Jordan Eberle

[olli]

If the Islanders don't re-sign Tavares, it's hard to see them in the playoff mix next year, so they may as well trade Eberle because they'll get more value this offseason than at the trade deadline.

Who's interested in him? How much are you willing to pay?

Don't expect him to do anything in the playoffs, butter soft.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

I don't think many teams will want to take him, considering his albatross contract and playing ability.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Want Strome back?

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

Might be a good fit back in Edmonton to keep the kids Pulji and Yamamoto sheltered. What's the ask? 2nd rounder?

I don't think the Oilers have cap space to acquire him.

Really? 40th in the league in even strength points. Not saying his contract is a steal but eberle is a great 2nd line player. No interest in trading him away

A second-liner costing $6M per season.

Isn't top 93 first line?

 

[KrisBeKreame]

Eberle has tremendous chemistry with Barzal. Cant see him traded even if Tavares doesn't re-sign.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Isn't top 93 first line?

Is he in the first line now?

I think you're getting caught up in 1st line/2nd line designations when Eberle's good enough to play on either the 1st or 2nd line in a team's top six.

And if Tavares walks, chances are Eberle plays on the 1st line since Barzal's line effectively takes over as that.

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

Is he in the first line now?

Well he's producing more than 50% of players on the first line. Do you call Malkin just a second liner?

Can't compare him with Malkin.

Okay.

 

[seafoam]

We need to keep him around for now to play with Barzal.

 

[islesfan3913]

I don’t see the Isles selling if Tavares leaves, at least right away. We’d probably role with Lee-Barzal-Eberle as our first line and sign/trade for a second line center (Stastny, O’Reilly) to play with Ladd and Bailey on the second line. Not the best top six, but I see the team at least trying to do a re-tooling at first. If it doesn’t work, then next trade deadline and off season will be a big sell off.

Had 59 points getting second PP time. Could out produce many first line wingers in the league. He’s not getting less than 5 mil in his next contract

I guess inflation is a factor.

What year are you from where 2nd liners don’t make 6M?

 

[Hockeyholic]

What's the term of his current contract?

 

[Remember2004]

What do you want from Calgary? Always been a fan in the Edmonton days

Love how an Oiler fan started this Eberle thread I

1. Eberle,knowing Tavares may bolt, has expressed interest in a nyi extension.
2. Eberle's chemistry with 20 yr old Barzal is terrific. A vet who does not hesitate to call Barzal out for holding on too long to the puck.
3. Not sure if the isles reboot or full rebuild if JT leaves. I am guessing reboot because Barzal, quality 20 something yr olds and a very solid prospect pool are already in place.

Bottom line? Not convinced Tavares leaving means 20 something yr olds like Eberle,Leddy,Lee,Bailey get moved.

Good thing the isles look at Eberle's chemistry with Barzal and do not consider Eberle's contract an albatross contract then.

 

[CREW99AW]

Want Strome back?

Do not want Strome, do not want a 2nd rounder and do not want picks prospects.
If Tavares leaves, Barzal's development becomes an even larger issue for the franchise and Barzal's chemistry with Eberle is more important then some meh return.

 

[steveat]

Yeah...if Tavares leaves I think Isles put Lee up on the block to land a top dman.

Lee + for top D 1, 2 or 3

We have enough scoring...we need to convert one of the scorers for a backend player.
