Nah. We have seen worse players on bad contracts get traded than Eberle and RNH. I feel they will have plenty of takers for either player. They aren't going to hit home runs on the return but they could get quality young prospects or draft picks from other teams. There are always teams looking for centers that have skill and RNH looked great at the World Cup of Hockey playing with talented line mates. Eberle is more of a one-trick pony but he's only got two years left on that deal and a team in bad need of a skilled winger may be desperate enough to make a move for him
