I don't think so - it's rare for draft eligible players to make the team, and it is even harder to get invited to the summer camp because the list includes players who will probably be in the NHL next season. Its not until mid season where there are injuries and some turn pro that spots open up. It's not an indicator of the talent for next year.
As for Klimchuk - I feel like he's been heavily underrated by some and really tore it up after his return from injury. I'm not saying he will be exactly like Eberle, but their year by year point totals are comparable to each other and gives me confidence he can produce like any top 6 player can (and that he won't just be a third line forward)
