No, no his comparable is not Versteeg.

I get it, the guy is overpaid and part of the loser core of a loser organization. But up until this year, where he still put up 50+ points, the guy has been a consistent high level 60+ point producer in a league where there aren't many consistent 60+ point producers.

Over the last 4 years only 29 players have outscored him, he has the same amount of points as the Sedins, more than Duchene, Marleau, Monahan....

He's no more a comparable to Brouwer and Versteeg than Monahan is a comparable to Letestu.
The problem with analyzing Eberle's numbers are that for most of those 60+ point seasons, the Oilers were playing with virtually no structure or discipline. Offense was encouraged and backchecking and defense were optional.

For the first time in year, the Oilers have system play, and Eberle's numbers drop. RNH's numbers drop. Are these players as good as their numbers indicate or was it just a reflection of one way hockey?
