This was Eberle's D+2 year:
Look at all those Top scorers that never made the NHL
Being top of the scoring means little without the context,
The context is that Eberle played the kind of game that translated to the NHL which is why he was a 1st round pick.
Leading scorer Kozun was 5'8" and nothing he could do in Junior translated to the NHL.
He was drafted in the 6th round because of HOW he played, not his raw stats.
Had a 20 game stint with the Leafs, and a failed PTO with the Avs.
Jordan Weal's 17 year old season looked impressive, but it was largely because he was centering WHL MVP as a linemate in Eberle. He was also only 5'9" Which was why he was drafted as a 3rd rounder.
Same shit, he didn't play the kind of game that translated into the NHL.
He stagnated as a junior player putting up similar numbers 3 consecutive seasons, and peaked as an AHL star who managed 200 NHL games. Typical journeyman player.
Calvert is a solid NHL journeyman
Schenn was a star
My thing with the Stefan signing is that he seems to fit into the overage category of:
Cunningham Wahl Sylvester - Journeymen who might have a sip of coffee in the NHL if they're lucky.
So unless the scouts see that he has NHL caliber skating or instincts or skills that translate to the NHL, it's doubtful he becomes anything more than an AHL lifer.
So no, there is very little comparable between him and Eberle aside from raw stats.
