Yup. I don't think those that are saying Eberle have been paying much attention over the last three years and noticed how much he has regressed.
In his first couple years, he was very dynamic. But he has not learned the NHL game and now is one-dimensional with little upside - much like a Hemsky: if you can afford to have him as a middle 6 winger that provides nothing but PP offense, then sure. But that's just about it. At $6m per.
