.....


















in the AHL

30-35 is an absolute disaster considering the kind of perennial production We had from eberle over the years. That's 25-30 off his average


This team flat out isn't good enough yet to be satistfied with that kind of significant step backwards.
Feels like a lot of fans are just expecting the logical next step from our 2nd round achievement to be the Stanley cup. This team has a ton to prove before it can be considered a true contender imo

Id Be ecstatic with those totals

Happily take 50 even

I think anything less than 45 and its an awful trade

Really depends on what his usage is. If he scores 40 points in a predominantly third line role that would be a success. If he scores that same number playing with McDavid that would be a failure.

The Islanders have made some weird personel moves over the years and given up on some quality players. Niederreiter is a more recent example that did well in a new environment. Let's hope we can say the same about Strome.

100% Bubba. You are the real.

Most people will be satisfied if he reaches or exceeds a career high. Makes sense.

This is a guy that has averaged 29pts a season the last two years. 40 pts might not be so bad if he backchecks harder than Ebs did.

Don't forget Ebs perennial production also came with a lot of preventable goals against while he was on the ice if he had simply learned or cared to back check. If Stromes defensive play is better than Ebs, then it makes those 30-35 pts a lot more valuable.

Also the next logical achievement from second round is conference finals, not a cup win. It's a cup win after the conference finals.

If only I had read further ahead I could have just said "THIS" as opposed to explaining what you just said.

Id rather still have yak than have eberle. At least yak cared and gave his 100% every shift. Cant even count how many times i saw ebs make a soft play and give up possesion or shy away from a play last season. It was not bad luck that prevented him from scoring in playoffs. This will be a good trade for both teams.

It appeared to me that Strome was going to be special three seasons ago but after watching him slide out of favor the last two years despite getting lots of chances with Tavares and on the pp I think he can be considered a bust UNLESS he turns it around real quick on the new team. I think you will miss Eberle big time offensively and this trade was more about money imo. This trade is actually worse than Hall for Larsson and I did not like that one either. I really believe Larsson could have been had for less than Hall at the time the trade was made. Larsson was still struggling to find his game despite having lots of potential. Regardless Peter is what he is, a clown.

The Oilers ruined Yakupov, primarily Dallas Eakins who does not belong in the nhl. I think Yakupov just might get it going in Colorada, pressure is off and he was not taken number one overall for no reason. Good luck Yak

I haven't looked into the numbers yet, but I recall him seeing a solid uptick in production once Weight took over. Likely fair to set a reasonable marker at around 40-45 points depending on the PP setup. As for his faceoff percentage, that'll likely see an improvement if he finds a spot on the RW of any of our three Cs as he'll split faceoff duties (alternating based off strong side) and defensive duties with his C (first one back takes low-zone).

Even without factoring cap hit (present or future), his greater utility in having a larger frame and breakout/breakaway speed and I think the swap is understandable.

He won't. He's just an awful NHL player whose mental capacity for processing the game is non-existent. The Oilers didn't help, but it doesn't change the fact that he's just bad.

As for coaches, the rate at which he's changed coaches hasn't exactly changed, either. He'll have played for Hitchcock, Yeo and now Bednar in a year's time once September rolls around.

Yak was the only player worse at backchecking than Eberle. Give those two and Schultz top minutes without enforcing accountability and you're team is picking top 4 every year.

Chia pet should just stay away from trading with the islanders! You think he'd learn from the last trade with Snow.

First!

"The most concerning part about the offensive decline is that it’s come while he’s had the opportunity to play with a talented (almost elite) offensive player in John Tavares"

How can this hack call Tav almost elite..smh Moors plz

Suck it Jero!!

And Strome needs to be hitting 40-50 puts a season and be playing a solid 200 ft game to have this trade be considered decent/worth it. Anything less and Chi pet has basically dumped the salary of a great hockey player for poop. It'll be another (frank) over by Garth Snow of the Oilers.

Radulov vs. Eberle comparison is WAY off. You stats guys just don't see it do you? So what if they had similar production.

Radulov skates 40ft. and JUMPS into the arms of teammates after a goal that still had them down 4-2...meanwhile...Eberle can't crack a smile or show ANY semblance of passion for months at a time. It is 100% obvious that Eberle hears footsteps going into the corners and dirty areas and goes in at 50% (generous).

I don't think anyone is denying Eberle's skill and ability, but if you want to win a championship there can be no passengers. Eberle has been somewhat of a passenger player for his career, he's not going to smash and bash or throw big hits. He IS however, expected to show passion, to look like he gives a damn, and to put forth a certain amount of effort. Eberle can't be weak and clueless in his own end and then also be scared and disengaged in the offensive zone too. It is also very important that one of the players in a leadership role does not perform this way. He needed this change as much as the Oilers did.

Radulov is a new father, is older, is trying to prove a point, and he has A LOT more passion than Jordan Eberle. Yeah, they got the same production one season....they also both have beards roughly the same length.

With Mc 55-60, without 25-30!
