Its still better than being handcuffed when McDavid's new deal kicks in. If we have to walk away from one or both Strome and Maroon then so be it.
They have no one to blame but Phaneuf
Having said that Karlsson ala McDavid doesnt need a star partner on his line to be successful. OTT will survive this considering the time Methot was out with injuries this season.
The thing is that Oilers might not consider Eberle 'good' anymore.
Who in their right ****ing mind considers the 6th leading RW in points since entering the league not "good"?
You hear of teams needing scoring and you tell me he has zero value? Or value of a guy who averages 30 ish points a season when his worst is 51?
Does Eberle's track record seem to warrant giving the guy the benefit of the doubt to rebound and prove more value? I would argue yes.
Like I see people bending themselves over backwards to explain how we are going to save 3.5M and I put forward a way to save 10.625M and for some reason everyone looks over it and says nope Eberle and his 6M need to go. In all likelihood we could keep Ebs and trade him at the deadline for value greater than what we get right now.
