Yea Ron Mclean showed a clip of him hesitating to get run over by Getzlaf in the playoffs. Since then he is soft and useless to the Chia loyalists.
Thats also ignoring Strome is soft and useless but Eberle can actually put up points. Hated the trade then and its worse now.

Strome is soft and useless but he's bigger and plays center is what Chia loyalists would say to defend the Eberle trade.

How many "run of the mill" 2nd line RW's are 4th in total points and 3rd in total goals amongst all RW's in the past 8 seasons. Eberle is putting up 1st line numbers consistently. The only RW's he's behind from the past 8 seasons are Kessel, Perry and Wheeler. LW is a different story since most of the best wingers in the league are LW's. Eberle is also such a versatile player that you can play him with anyone and it won't effect his numbers.

You realize you're grading him on 1 playoff season...right? 13 career playoffs games for Christ's sake.
As opposed to grading him based off the playoff games he hasn’t played? He went 13 games without showing effort or making an impact in any way.

Kessel is another player that doesn't get the respect he deserves. He's been putting elite numbers for his entire career.

Oilers will trade for him at the deadline. Prospect plus 1st for retained Eberle. Playoff push haha

It's almost like maybe we shouldn't draw any conclusions at all off a 13 game sample size...
you were dead wrong,he was anything but soft this year.
its no coincidence you made a playoff with eberle and finished in the lottery this year
it sounds like youre just uset you traded him for strome. we have no interest going back
If you want to be ignorant, then you would be correct.
He was a no show in the playoffs. That’s a fact.
Yeah Eberle was the key to the Oilers making and they missed the playoffs because he was gone.

im just saying that it is what happened, you dont trade players off of one playoff
oiler fans are bashing him because you got nothing for him everything youve said is based on that. he wasnt soft this year. he did finish checks this year. he was everything and more than we expected.
im just pointing out that the oilers have a history of ruining players under Lowe and MacTavish and MVP Taylor Hall is just further proof the destruction of Yakupov and Magnus Paajarvi are further examples and Puljujarvi is trending in that direction though he is still in his formative stages and can be salvaged
maybe you need to stop blaming the players and put the blame where it belongs, on oiler management

But you weren’t pointing that out at all, and now you’ve gone off on some straw man that has nothing to do with anything you were talking about. Eberle basically quit on the Oilers team his last year there, he wrote his own ticket out of town and then was reinvigorated playing for a new team. I watched a lot of Isles games last year and he put in more effort in them than he did in any of the 13 playoff games and rode the coattails of Barzal to a decent year. He’s a soft player who doesn’t show up when it matters. His play proves that, pointing that out isn’t bashing him. The only person to be upset with for the poor return is Eberle himself. Guys who quit on their team in the playoffs don’t return much in a trade.
Oh and you saying they ruined Hall is rich. He won the MVP two years after being dealt. He had multiple seasons in Edmonton where he was very good and wasn’t dealt because he quit on his team like Eberle.

no it doesnt
barzal was a rookie, Eberle guided him not the other way around, remember too oiler management could have had Barzal and Anthony Beauvillier but traded the picks used to acquire both for Griffin Reinhart. the evidence available clearly shows oiler management was more at fault tha Eberle or Hall or Yakupov or Paajarvi
you just refuse to look in the mirror
More straw man arguments and inability to have a decent discussion. Maybe you’re just mad that your team lost JT after failing to be competitive with him for so long on such a great contract and have to go full rebuild now?
Barzal was dominant, Eberle doesn’t get the credit for that. Just like he doesn’t get the credit for the Oilers making the playoffs two seasons ago when he had 16 goals in the first 80 games of the season. Maybe you should give him credit for the Islanders falling apart this last season?
Anyway, Oilers got a solid 3C for Eberle who’s a complimentary 2RW. Guessing the Islanders dump him for a 2nd and a prospect at the deadline to help their rebuild.

youre the one making straw man arguments what does Tavares have to do with Eberle?
I have no axe to grind with the oilers ask actual intelligent fans like Chaotic Orange and Bryanbryoil and others
ive been very pro oilers for years, because thay are like the Islanders, cursed with bad management and ineffective ownership
but rather than admit that you blame the players

Beauvillier was a first round pick. They used the 2nd from Edmonton to move up for him but you can’t say oilers could have had him because it’s not true.
Anyways Eberle will probably go at the deadline then test FA. I doubt he wants to sit through another rebuild at this point in his career.

I’m not denying we had terrible management, not sure what that has to do with Eberle quitting on his team and being a no show for 13/13 playoff games. The player wasn’t ruined by the Oilers, he simply quit in the team. That decreased his trade value. Just like riding Barzal’s success increased it. Will be interesting to see how he fairs knowing that he won’t be on a competitive team this season. If he pulls the chute again it could greatly diminish the return the Islanders get for him.

technically the Oilers didn't have a shot at Beavuillier, the islanders traded up with the 2nd they gave us, so it is unfair to say the trade was Reinhart for Bevu. + Barzal. The trade was Griff for Barzal and a 2nd round pick
who is to say, the fact is the islanders couldnt have acquired either Barzal or Beauvillier if Chiarelli didnt trade a first and second for Reinhart so Oiler Management was at fault. I can only judge Eberle on his play here, and none of what nabob said was true in edmonton, was true in NY
im just pointing out that he has an ulterior motive in his thinking to bash eberle. Chia wanted to save cap space so we both got what we wanted and Bryan has told me that Strom played well after adjusting to his new 3c role, so i dont see how Nabobs intense desire to trash a player he longer has to deal with is relevant.
it smacks of sour grapes, no more, no less. we're are very happy with the player we got and according to intelligent oiler posters they are happy with strome. to me thats Win Win
