Well yeah, it's suppose to be ridiculous, that was the premise. Comparing Eberle to Versteeg is ridiculous. That was the premise of my post.

I called him overpaid. But no, he is not a middling second line forward.
Here's a complete list of right wingers who have outscored Eberle over the last 3 years:
Kane
Tarasenko
Kucherov
Wheeler
Voracek
Kessel
Stone
Perry
Zuccarello
Simmonds
Oshie
It's a list of 11. If he's a middling second line right winger, there should be around 45 other right-wingers outscoring him in a top 6 role.
And elite top line talent, as shown by the person on the top of that list, are making 10M a year now (and have for sometime in actual cash). Eberle makes 60% of that.
