Value of: Jordan Eberle

[rent free]

Nylander is already a tissue soft player in the playoffs. Eberle makes Nylander look like a Viking.

I just want gardener off the team and want something good in return.

don't worry anish, the Isles don't want Gardner.In fact now that Lou is in charge, I think DeHaan may not be history any longer.

 

[McShogun99]

He was always garbage. Trash in his own zone and scared to get in the corners. He is good in the ozone and leeching off of Hall and co but man his playoffs was literally worse then Matthews and his was horrendous.

Leading or colesding the team in scoring for almost every season he was an Oiler sure sounds like a guy that was leeching points...

Hope he doesn't have. He should give us a parting gift, maybe a bigger one than de haan

Actually, next year is his contract yr.

He only has one year left. This is a contract year for him. He can extend this summer.

 

[hockeyguy1967]

I was not too wild about adding Eberle,but he did work hard defensively. Surprised me with his effort.

No he didn't.

 

[Beautvillier]

if not then im sorry, but it sure appeared that you were questioning the depth of our prospect pool, crew felt that way too

we're coming off an incredible season from one prospect (Barzal) and my personal opinion is that Bellows is going to be a rookie of the year candidate himself and if Lou can work his magic and bring him over, Sorokin can quite possibly be in the running for one too. its no guarantee of course, but if in 2 years time we are sitting on 3 consecutive rookies of the year, then I'd say that anyone who questioned our prospect pool would look incredibly stupid. wouldnt you?

i do believe bellows can be a roty candidate if he plays on barzal’s wing, but i don’t see the depth that our organization has like you do. goalie prospects are very hit or miss, and even though they’re tearing up a different league doesn’t mean they’ll be successful here. besides the three top names we have, there’s very little real quality in the pool.

 

[CREW99AW]

No he didn't.

Yeah he did. The 55-60 points I expected.
His hustling on defense was not expected.

I am not trying to sell you on the prospect pool,but I really like the 20-23 yr old group : Barzal,Beau,JHS,Pulock, Belllows,Sorokin, Toews and Soderstrom.
Then add in the older 20 something yr old vets like JT, Leddy,Bailey, Eberle and Lee. Isles have a promising mix.

Ok. No use arguing about it, I watched his whole career. Maybe he decided to finally give a crap for a couple games when he first got there. His play at the WHC is exactly what it normally is. Soft and Pathetic.

It’s funny bc this site will never admit it but he’s probably better than nylander at the moment.

Very similar players. Both soft offensive players who avoid contact like the plague.

Like others have mentioned eberle was not soft at all for NYI this year.

Which is more likely a player shocked at being traded for the first time, rededicates himself to his craft and is rejuvenated with a fresh start

or a bitter oiler fan upset that he needed the impetus to make changes carries a grudge against a player they traded for next to nothing and is angry about it?

I know which one I believe. And I bet most here on hfboards do. If as you say you'd watched any of eberles games this year, which you say you did. But which is obviously false, you'd know he was asked about this all season. And said his confidence waned in Edmonton and the pressure was getting to him confidence wise.

So obviously you were either unaware or lying. which is it? You don't need to answer. The bitterness drips off of you like sweat in a sauna.

We always had some Oiler fans saying the same. It wasn't true then. It may be now, I didn't watch a ton of Islanders games this year, but I do have a hard time believing that he saved his softness for the Worlds this year.

 

[General Disarray]

Eberle to Edmonton for Strome ++

Ok.... but find one islanders fan who said he was soft this year

 

[PWJunior]

Jokes aside, are the Oilers even going to offer Strome a qualifying offer?

strait we rarely agree, but youre right on, it cant be done because it didnt happen

i didnt watch the worlds so cant say, but i can say he wasnt soft when the games counted in season. the worlds are a glorified all star game and players dont care about them
