Eberle AINEC
haha I don't think he really needs to be brought up but I do remember getting into an argument with one of my canuck loving friends about who was better after the 2009 WJHC and remember saying I wouldn't trade Eberle for Hodgson and I remember him looking at me like I was nuts.
I was in Ottawa for the tournament saw every game hodgson was good but he tended to stack up points in blowouts and really was third best I thought out of the three of Taveres Eberle and Hodgson even though he ended with the most points.
That being said I was surprised at how slow his pro career started didn't put up great numbers in the A last year and thats not to mention that whole debacle he had with Alain Vigneault at training camp the year before (I know he did end up actually having a back problem it just seemed to really be handled badly by both sides) but I think he will turn into a great player never at Duchene's level though.
Duchene will be able to carry a team I think Hodgson will be more of a vital component of one were he does the important things that teams need to win just will never be a consistent first line player more of a good second that can fill in when needed.
