*Shrug* Find another team then.
You guys are quick to criticize Strome, he's terrible, he's half the player Eberle is, you'd be lucky to get Fayne for him, etc.
But then the second anyone criticizes Eberle or says they don't want to trade valuable assets for him, they're totally wrong, Eberle is awesome and is totally returning a top-4 defender via trade.
That's kinda the way hockey trades, and other sports trades work. The outsiders know and understand the strengths and flaws of a particular player and mentally adjust their trade value accordingly. You do it for Strome, meanwhile 30 other fanbases do the exact same thing for Eberle, and the fact that there are numerous fans who arrive at "he has negative value, wouldn't trade a 7th for him" says more than you'd like to admit about Eberle's potential value on the market.
But instead, just like last year, one Oiler fan will post "Eberle for Hamonic makes sense for both teams", 8 other Oiler fans agree, and that somehow sets Eberle's trade value despite the only input coming from people who'd really really really like to see Eberle get a great return on the trade market. When you start asking other franchises how much they'd give up for him, you get a more realistic picture, even if means wading through the "hahahaha Eberle has zero value" responses.
