Wow. Pretty low AAV for a guy just one season removed from 59 points

Great deal for the Islanders. He clearly wanted to stay - could have got more on the open market. After the EDM fiasco I think Eberle realized he found a place he was happy and wasn't willing to risk losing it

Repsect for Eberle on this deal! Gives up some value, gains some term, stays with a team he seems to love playing for. EDM fans are still heart broken he's not on McDavid's wing.

Not sure what the year-to-year salary structure is, but he actually took a pay decrease in his AAV. And it's not like he's just some scrub, he could have easily cleared that on the open market.

Lou totally left a severed horse head on Eberle's bed, right?

The only people sad about not having Eberle in edmonton are casual fans or girls that think he is cute. Ebs was butter come playoff time, hes better suited to the east.

I think it looks like a good signing. Lehner and Lee still need to be re-signed, but we have the cap space, right?

It's ok, but I think they'll regret it before its over.

Weird. Very reasonable money and term. Eberle could’ve got a lot more on the open market, great signing for the Isles.
Quoting: EthanK24
Many, many Oilers fans wish that Eberle never left. (Especially because they’d rather him than Sam Gagner)

So, $27.5M for 37 points? I gotta get into this hockey business!

His production went down but he basically got the same money as in 2013.
I think he overpaid here but time will tell.
