To call Eberle a better on-ice asset than Frolik is frighteningly obtuse.

Frolik scored 17 goals to Eberle's 20 last year, but guess whose shooting percentage was lower? Frolik's.

Frolik had one of the highest relative Corsi ratings in the NHL. Eberle's was the third-lowest of his career.

Eberle's PDO was above 100 last year for the first time in three years... he got lucky and still declined. Frolik's was 99.7... slightly unlucky, but he still dominated possession-wise, even with offensive zone starts below 40%. Eberle's were above 55%.

And, they're just two years apart in age.

Frolik is a better player than Eberle in pretty much every category.
