Thread: Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>While I agree that Eberle will be gone , he does not play 1st line minutes. Josh Bailey does, do you think he's giving the islanders the production they need from someone playing 1st line minutes?</div></div>

Most would argue no, especially not 1st line production. But I do think with the way they're both utilized, Bailey probably provides more value right now. When Eberle isn't scoring, he's usually invisible. Bailey plays PP, PK and statistically, even though the goals aren't always there, his production has been pretty solid. Definitely frustrating to watch at times but with the way he's stepped up the last 2 postseasons and the loyalty he's shown to this team through some awful years early on, I have a hard time thinking they'd move him over Eberle.
