Do you guys really believe that he is a good comparable to Eberle? That he's all razzle dazzle? That he's unlikely to continue being a top scorer?
go back in a time machine to 2012 when Eberle was coming off his 34 goals 76 pts season on a crappy (74 pt team similar to 77 the Gaudreau led Flames put up) Oiler team. There was clear cut consensus that while RHN and Hall had a lot of potential Eberle was the real deal and would be a top player on any team. He was Mr. Clutch scoring huge goals.

He has continued on to have a pretty good career with similar style (no contact Lady Byng worthy razzle dazzle) to Gaudreau.

Eberle was 2nd in lady byng voting in 2012, Gaudreau 4th in 2016.
