Lee is not tradeable, probably a guy that gets the A on his shirt and part of the structure, I think if he is on a line with Nelson he will get 40 goals anyway, he got 8 in the last 10 games of 16/17 playing with him and then Bailey will be the brains on that line.
Eberle,.. doesn't he hate Barzal? My guess is maybe the Wahlstrom kid will be on that line with Beau and Barzal and Eberle is probably not necessary to keep

I think Barzal and Eberle actually like each other, they just give each other ——. I had to laugh when style conscious Barzal was asked which Islander most needed a makeover and he went right after Eberle.

If that is the case that is good, I think so much depends on if Nelson can be a 2C, it is odd but a lot of the season depends on how effective he is.

Too soon to say, imo. How does this team perform this year? Are they in playoff position (not likely but, not impossible either)? Are they 10 points out? How have they performed this year? Hard to say right now. Lets see where they are at the deadline. any scenario is possible. IF the team is sunk and they arent interested in staying (or Lou isnt interested in THEM staying) then they get traded absolutely. If they performed well and are willing to SIGN before the deadline...they stay. simple as that. lol.

It's not that simple when it comes to Lee. This is going to be Lee's big payday and he is worth the most at the moment he will ever be. Again, Eberle is making close to what he will get signed for next and I doubt we see a huge drop off in his production. Maybe I'm overanalyzing Lee without Tavares, maybe I'm not.

Looks like it was taken care of already. Mods were quick on their feet with that one.

I'd be happy with 7/49
But as I've said many times, I worry about him hanging around the net with Pullock taking those hard shots.

If he could pot 40 with Nelson in the middle, then 7/49 makes sense if he struggles and ends up potting 20 with Filpuppa then 5/25

Hard to say sign one and trade the other without knowing if they're willing to re-sign and how much they want.
Lee might be worried about his numbers dipping without Tavares, and after years being dragged in Edmonton Eberle seems to have found a good spot playing on Barzal's wing. Holding onto either, seeing how they perform post-snake, and then worst case trading them at the deadline hoping the market is hot.
