I've been very happy with his play so far. He's been hustling and definitely not as soft as some people say. Large upgrade over Strome so far.
I agree. He has not shown to be the player I thought, or had heard, we were getting, soft, not willing to go to the dirty areas, floater. He’s been good. Hopefully he keeps it up all season.

If you have read his post trade comments you realize he is playing with a chip on his shoulder.That is fine.What ever makes him play harder.

I was surprised last night watching him, I was expecting Nelson on steroids but he's impressed so far.

Maybe he was worth a Hamonic after all lol

Still early but if he gets his usual 20+ goals and 50+ points that's a nice trade of with Strome.


I'm praying for 60+ points and 30 goals.

He makes decisions quicker, especially when it comes down to when he should pass or shoot...I like that..usually our guys take 2-3 seconds before ...instead of instant decision.

I am not overly impressed so far. He had every reason to come out looking to make Edmonton regret dumping him. I am not seeing the payout.

He looks fine to me. Had some great opportunities and hasn't had any luck with them going in. Once he pots one I think the floodgates will open. He's actually better defensively than I thought he would be, but still gets lost in the defensive zone sometimes. He'll be fine.

He looks really good in my opinion. Only thing that hasn't come has obviously been the scoring, but besides that he's been everything I've expected him to be.

I think the difference with him and Ladd the first few months was that Ladd was completely invisible. Eberle is actually creating opportunities around him.

Does he look like a $6m player?

In this league, at these prices of course. In a reality where athletes aren't overpaid, of course not.

He's driving offense, creating opportunities and doing pretty much what other 6 million dollar players do. He doesn't look any better or worse than other guys in his pay group like Ryan, Turris, Wheeler et. al.

Got nothing to say negative. Honestly him and JT need a bounce, they've had chances but results aren't there. Eberle has had better speed than I thought and his backhand is a new weapon we haven't had since like Yashin.

But I still would swap him and Bailey.

I think he's been playing very well TBH. He's had some great saves against him and he has set up his teammates very nicely but they weren't able to bury the chances.

I expected Eberle to score goals and I am sure he will. Too much skill for him not to.
I simply do not think he is worth $6m per. Then again neither Ladd or Boychuk are worth their salaries either.
