Anyways, there is demand for Eberle, of course their is. He's a winger capable of regularly putting up 50+ points. The hardest part is going to fit him under the cap, considering that's probably just a hair above what he would get as a UFA and not all teams would be happy to pay it. Or maybe in line, hard to say.

I doubt there is much of a market for Eberle. When Frolik was on the market, coming off back to back 42 point seasons he got 4.3 million a year. Eberle has averaged 49 points a season over the last 2 years. The difference in their defensive games is similar to the difference between Stajan and Crosby offensively. I am not sure that extra 7 points a year, when factoring in the huge defensive liability is worth 1.7 million a year on the open market.
