Eberle isn't here because of last years playoffs. You can't play like that and expect to stay. If he were paid 1M/year he would not be here today.
He's also good at least 20G, 50PTS a year. Numbers that will be sorrily missed on this team if Strome doesn't turn his career around and/or Nuge doesn't contribute more offense.
I know Asher. I just don't see the point in bashing him because he happened to sign a contract that was glad handed to him and the other 2 6 million dollar men. I said it before and I'll repeat it here. If they can move him for a player that will contribute to the same or better level at less $$$$$$.....great. I don't see the point in making it seem like he's useless on the team because he's making what he is. I happen to like his contributions and what he brings. I'm also all in for him either getting it all together this year if possible. That has yet to be seen though.
It's the heat that comes with the big bucks. Players will always say there isn't extra pressure after signing a big contract, but there is. Maybe not from the players or the coaches, but definitely from the media and the fans. And as countless examples prove, if a player can't live up to his contract, the chances of him not being with that team much longer go up dramatically.
