New York Islanders Jordan Eberle Expectations For 2018-2019
Jordan Eberle is heading into a contract year with the New York Islanders. Playing next to Mathew Barzal should help his cause.
In Jordan Eberle’s first year for the New York Islanders, he was an extremely productive forward despite not serving in the role that he was brought in for. Like many before him, he was acquired to play with John Tavares.
That didn’t last very long as the Islanders decided to reunite the Lee – Tavares – Bailey line that worked so well together the year prior. Eberle found a role on the second line, playing with some kid named Mathew Barzal. It worked wonders.
