that said, i wouldn't sacrifice assets unless the Oilers swallow a chunk (like 33%) of that ridiculous contract they gave him, cause he's pretty much untradeable at this point in time unless a team is just looking to hit the cap floor

it is quite possible that Eberle has been too corrupted by the Oilers 'player development' of the old regime
Remember his first NHL goal? Wasn't it on Kipper? ... and Ian White?
