Talent Analysis
Eberle does not dominate physically, but understands his role and is very confident with the puck. And he sees plenty of ice time, which will hasten his development as a complete player. Eberle is a refreshingly offensive-minded forward, which contrasts the atypical notion that Canadian-born players are all about grit, toughness and physical play.
Size is an obvious concern but with a couple more inches and 20 more pounds, Eberle will be the average sized player. Strength and speed would be the two areas most needing improvement.
Future
Eberle’s future with the team lies in his ability to continue scoring goals throughout his junior career and down the road as a pro.
