It's risky to try and present a balanced perspective when talking about Oilers and Flames. I think your analysis is pretty good and teams would be willing to still take a chance on Eberle. The more salary the Oil would eat, the better the return I guess.
The Flames aren't good enough yet to roll the dice on something like this IMO.
