Same age, but the Oilers extended Eberle while he still had a year left on his ELC. They extended him based on two seasons (147 GP, 52G 67A 119P). The Flames got 3 full seasons to assess Monahan before they extended him (237 GP 80G 79A 159P). That's an important difference. Monahan is also worth more as a C than Eberle is as a W - or at least plays a more important role. Which is another important difference.
