he wasnt on mcdavids wing....

He spent around the first 30 or so games of the year on McDavid's wing. It wasn't working so they moved him off.

Not to say he can't hit 70 with Tavares. He's coming off a couple down years where he produced at a 50-55 point pace, but the 4 years prior he was at minimum at a 63 point pace.

He gets his confidence back and clicks with Tavares, he could definitely hit 70 points.

If he gets his shot back and plays on the top unit PP he can get back to 65pts..
Not sure about 70.. that would be a career year. A lot would need to go right for him.. baby steps... step 1 get mojo back and get back to 60pts.

Reminds me of when Kessel was moved to Pitt and people were predicting 40-50 goals and career highs in points.

The pro is that he will play with JT, but the con is that he goes to a worse team in a better division. I think he'll put up a nice string of 55-60 point seasons.

If he can't do it with mcdavid what makes you think he can do it with a lesser Tavares?

The only way he can do it is if he truly needed a fresh start. But his issues are very tough to fix. Everyone knows you have to push eberle off the puck and he folds. He loses all the puck battles when played physically. What can Tavares do for eberle in that department? Nothing.

Maybe if he gets his one timers back he can become another one trick stamkos pony but that's his absolute peak. Still can't believe someone traded for him for that 6mill contract

Since former Oilers players have a habit of becoming good again when they leave the team (Dubnyk, Schultz, Petry, Gagner) I think he can hit 60 again

Almost as crazy as signing him to that contract.

Will the Islanders allow him to cheat offensively and float around or cherry pick, feeding him lots of minutes no matter what? If yes, then maybe.

He's soft (which is one of many weaknesses) and facing many big West teams doomed him. Playing in the East could help him, but how much I do not know.

He wasn't on mcdavids line but he got 70 on Hopkins line already. Who apparently is better than mcdavid and Tavares judging most of these responses. Well Hopkins or gagner/horcoff . I can't remember.

But the guy got a 6 mill a year contract because he put up a 76 point season. Without mcdavid

But anyways Eberle isn't fast . Tavares is good with slow players. Only problem is he can't one time a puck.

Lucky for him he is going to play in the softer, more offensively flowing conference.
