Todd Cordell: Stay away from Jordan Eberle

Lets get Ondrej Kase from the ducks instead. Jeje

exactly. STAY AWAY. waste of space, waste of money.

I mean. What are the chances that a ufa is not a depreciating asset? It’s like buying a new car

Hard pass on Eberle!

None. There is always a reason to pass on anyone. To much term...to much money. Whatever. Taking a guy after a down year is probably smart.

He played 666 regular season games... he's as good as signed.

To be honest... he's a lightweight player, which I wouldn't want on the top 6 since we have too many featherweights already, but he's one of them rare lightweights that improve when the games matter more.

I wouldn't be angry if the Devils signed him to a reasonable contract and had him as a middle 6 option.

I wonder if Todd is down with the idea of Slava Voynov

If you avoid the long term monster deals then it can be a great asset for playoff teams.

Totally agree but something tells me some crazy GM will pay him 5 mil + for at least 3 yrs. My offer to him would be a PTO. Why because he only scores when he's playing with high end center.

Ray hasn’t really spent much on UFAs. Going way out on a limb and assuming the draft Hughes, going into next season they already have:

Hall-Nico-Bratt
Coleman-Hughes- Palmieri
Zacha-Zajac-Anderson
Wood-McLeod-Bastian

Plus some spare parts and unknowns like Boqvist. Unless a trade falls into his lap I don’t see him making many moves at forward.

Defense on the other hand is still an utter mess.

I really like Kase. Just not sure the Ducks are going to trade him with that cheap contract. Although they are a team that probably wants to move players in a big shakeup.

McLeod showed nothing. Anderson is somewhat promising. Bastian seems legit. But it still looks like there is easily room for a quality FA forward.

The D is a mess but the problem seems like it’s as much Nessredine as the players.

Vatanen for kase

I think wood will be traded

Jordan Eberle on the decline? Sounds like a perfect Ranger.

He's had some incredibly bad luck with a couple of injuries. He got head shotted by the kermit Mcdouche in a preseason game against the Kings.
And then this shoulder surgery. But he's got way too much skill and finish added to the fact he's fearless and a great forechecker. Ducks need more guys like him not less.

There’s room, especially in the top 6. I just don’t see us signing an impact forward. On your point about McLeod, I could definitely see us signing a 4C and giving Drew Stafford another PTO. Exciting times.

I don’t disagree on Nessredine, but, let’s be honest outside of Vatanen and Severson we don’t have a Dman that’s capable of consistent top 4 minutes. Maybe Butcher becomes one, maybe Smith, but right now it’s ugly.

6 years at 6.5 per.

I agree with you Todd. I have said we need RW's and Eberle would help do if no other players are added. Ideally, we would sign Donskoi as our 3rd RW, and offer sheet Kapenan as a 1/2 RW.

But if absolutely nobody fills any of those roster spots, I would be ok with Eb's, 2 years at the most. We are desperate and beggers can't be choosers.

I actually liked our D down the stretch. Sev/Vats/Carrick seem rock solid on the Right. The left is what needs attention in my opinion. Butch is really a 2nd pairing D at best, but he is our top LD. Greene needs a serious reduction in minutes to be effective. I expect Smith to be ready for the NHL, and maybe Walsh or Davies could surprise us, but more than likely will need to play a season with Bing.

I would not be opposed to adding a proven play-driving LD like Gardiner if it were for a term or 3 years or less. They guy puts up numbers every year, and would likely appreciate a town with less media coverage.

Take last year out.....

EBERLE is good for 60 points.a season....

He will also be paying on the TOP LNE with HALL...those numbers will rise.....

Sign him to a 3-4 year deal.....

Not surprising this is coming from you.

Have you ever been 29 going on 30? I have, and lots of players have. Sports get harder, not easier around that time.

Eberle was never a star and hasn't been productive in YEARS and will *likely* not pass 50 points again in his career. pass.
