With just a year left on his contract, the New York Islanders need to figure out what to do with Jordan Eberle. Do they resign him to a deal worth more than $6 million a season, do they trade him before the trade deadline, or do they let him leave on July 1st as an unrestricted free agent?
Brought in by former New York Islanders GM Garth Snow for Ryan Strome, Jordan Eberle was initially acquired to play alongside John Tavares. After failing to find that chemistry the two had in 2009 when members of Team Canada, Eberle was slotted next to Mathew Barzal, where both flourish.
