I don't think Eberle is much of an upgrade over Chiasson or Stone, even without considering the ridiculous difference in cap hits.
But I'm a big fan of two way players with high hockey IQ and physical play then purely skilled guys like Eberle.
if Ottawa felt they needed a top 3 defenseman, they should trade the package you mentioned without trading for Eberle.
Ottawa needs another game breaker upfront Eberle's production against first line competition in the West is outstanding. His cap hit is very reasonable how many 70 point players do you think are out there exactly?
He is surely better than Chiasson or Stone.
If he can be acquired it should be done. If Ottawa adds Eberle and Methot to this lineup without giving up any thing of significance they are a way better team.
