That would probably be it. His offensive skills really haven't deteriorated. Of course, the local press sanitizes what we hear about him in Regina. With him being from Regina, and having played for the Pats, Eberle can do no wrong. If he were to be traded, the Regina press would treat it as the greatest betrayal since the Gretzky trade.
