LW Jordan Eberle– 85
The reason I’m going to give Ebs an 85 is one of complexity. It wasn’t an easy decision, considering he led the team with decent numbers this season. However, he is not living up to his full potential. Eberle can easily be at least a 30-goal guy each season if he were to put in the effort, but he is not living up to those expectations. We believe that offensively, he’ll put up higher numbers this season, but that doesn’t go without a little backlash, considering he only put in 24 goals this past season.
Also, he is shaky when it comes to the backend, so his defensive standards are not going to be high at all. However, he holds capability of scoring, and he can rip the puck while also scoring a lot of the time when he does actually shoot. So, we’ll put him at an 85 and see how it goes from there.
