Yup - legitimate top 6 winger for 5.5 which is reasonable. I didn't really understand people who thought they should take Bailey.

I like this one a lot. Gio and Eberle on the same team. Gonna be tough to not cheer for them when they're not playing CGy.

[bluejays]

Yup. Smart but obvious pick.

Out of Eberle and Hall, the Oilers have nothing and the Kraken have Eberle and Larsson

LOL!

Same age, same term, Bailey $500k less.

Last 4 years:

JB 56G 205P in 280GP. 17:16
JE 76G 169P in 272GP 16:43

JB - JE (goals last 4 years)
8 - 16
14 - 16
16 - 19
18 - 25

pts:
35 - 59
43 - 40
56 - 37
71 - 59

Bailey's played 919 games to JE's 779, so maybe they see him falling off sooner.

Bailey is also cheaper in cash terms: $12M cash remaining vs. 15.5M to JE

It must boil down to needing goals more than pts.
