Loui has steadily been declining whereas Jordan had an off season but really showed up in the playoffs which showed there should no reason he won't pick it up again next season. Eberle has been on the decline as well (obviously not as much as Eriksson) last season his stats were pumped up by Barzel. During his last 2 years in Edmonton he was Meh except for a couple good weeks near the end of the season to get him to 50 points. I was thinking his next contract would be around 4.5 to 5 at the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year he was a 19-goal 37-point guy though, in which case this would be a bit of an over payment. The jury's still out on this one. Point per game in the playoffs last season, even in spite of the cold scoring for all the Isles in the 2nd round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twilight Sparkle Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 He was a beast for that first round of the playoffs, before they were completely shut down by the canes. They might be banking on if he can continue that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobayashi Maru Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 1 hour ago, CanuckinEdm said: Cherry pick stats? Its not what have you done in the past its what you have done now and last season he had 37 points. If its what you have done in the past then Loui is a great offensive player thats worth over 6 mil per... 9 points in 8 playoff games. That's what he's done for them lately. He had 59 points last year as well. No way he is in full decline. I think this is a fair deal for the Islanders. Obviously it may not work out in the last 1-2 years, but what contract is not structured that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a solid resume and he had a solid playoff. I'd say that's a fair contract for a guy who brings a lot more than just points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Eberle is and always has been a 'big game' player. The problem is that there was never a big game to play in Deadmonton lol. Nice steal on behalf of the Isles - fleeced the Coil again, as if robbing them of the picks for Barzal (and the pick they used to trade up for Beauvillier) wasn't enough lol. Not a bad re-up at 5.5.

coastal.view Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 pay cut don't see that often for a player at his age given some of his past production but he did have a bit of a bumpy ride last couple years and was given the standard oiler contract at the time which he really did not earn and was not worth that contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you even watch a NYI playoff game? He was pretty solid. Just saying "37 points" tells me you looked at hockeydb and saw a number and made an assumption entirely based on that. Just being honest.

Neil HD Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) I imagine this is the Islanders' front office right now. Not a bad deal, even in a down year for Eberle. If he stays a consistent 50 point guy, they can consider it a steal Edited June 14, 2019 by Neil HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Considering his body of work as a whole and his age that's a solid deal for the Isles especially in 3 years when the salary cap is $6-$8 million higher than it is currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking his next contract would be around 4.5 to 5 at the most. Take a look at that team as a whole. Almost every player took a dip in production (aside from Nelson, whom they re-signed first as a priority), even the highly coveted Barzal dropped by over 20+ points, but not many are thinking less of him. Trotz realized what team he had to work with and made them adapt to a new system to make them win and they did. They bought in despite a decrease in production individually which I'm sure agents would hate to see. NYI is paying the guys that want to be an Islander and are committed to winning as one. And despite his lower numbers this year, he had 9 points in 8 games in the playoffs. Considering NYI hasn't been a high profile destination, this is a very reasonable signing especially given the term that takes him to 34 which just might be his last contract with the way this league is trending unless he continues to perform and earns shorter deals after.

mephnick Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I think he settles in at a 45-50 point player from now on. 5.5 isn't too shabby. It's a fair deal for the current league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 All things considered that's pretty damn good for the 40-55 point player he looks to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YearoftheNuck Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Excellent, more money forked out by the islanders and Anders Lee is still not signed! Come on Lee, hit free agency and look to the Pacific Northwest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
