for fantasy purposes, and more so for points only, this is a coin flip...
if you look at real hockey value, it is nowhere near as close, as benn is clearly a far more valuable asset.

If it's points only I've gotta go with Eberle here...

Benn is extremely impressive, but his value is higher in multi-cat leagues.

Eberle's just surrounded by so much talent... that combined with his unreal hockey sense and the fact that he's the only right-handed shot on that team means he will continue to enjoy tremendous offensive opportunities to just rack up points for the foreseeable future.

Points only I go with Eberle.

Multi-cat. with Benn.

Both are great young players. I like Benn, but Eberle is going to be a major cog on the Oil's high octane offence. Eberle will be getting top line minutes, and 1st wave PP time. Eberle for me.

Eberle in a points only by a hair, but Benn is an awfully good player and I'm not sure they are that far apart.

The way I see it, RNH will be the straw that stirs the drink for the Oilers.

Eberle, points-only.
Benn, multi-cat.

Thanks guys,
I like Eberle for now as well.

Will Yakupov take over Eberles top spot on the wing in a couple of years? Or should that not be a concern right now?

Points Only Keeper - Donating $$$ since 2009

This is where I sit as well. Eberle in a points only.

hmmm...I do like Jamie Benn...but points-only, with the surrounding cast that he has...Eberle every day of the week. Plus, he was dynamite for Canada for game-winners a while back...so he's near and dear to my heart....
but objectively, I still take Eberle
