I see Eberle taking the next step (well he took it last year but he shouldn't regress) this year as he learned to dominate in the AHL in the lockout.
Weekly H2H points only (Year 9 - 2015-16)
12 teams limited keeper (keep 6 + 1 Rookie)
13 round draft - Unlimited Trades - No Waivers - No IR

Eberle... I think Yak's presence motivates him even more. I als expect him and Schultz to keep their friendly scoring competetion going.

I'd go with St. Louis or Eberle.
One thing for damn sure... it won't be Kessel!
For a single season, I'm not nearly as high on Eberle as everyone else.
My rankings:
1. Kovalchuk
2. St. Louis
3. Perry
4. Kessel
5. Gaborik
6. Eberle
7. Hossa
Next season, Eberle is who I choose..
Zorro says "vote for Dobber"
Angus is my best friend at dobberhockey..
i'm a little mystified by all the Eberle love...and not because he's not a great player (he's probably my favorite Oiler) but from a fantasy perspective I sorta feel like he had his breakout year early and that's what we'll see from him in the future...somewhere in the ppg range.
Everyone seems to think that if you keep adding snipers to the makeup of a team that it somehow means everyone is gonna get 100 pts...it never works like that, there are only so many goals to go around and having that much young offensive talent vying for ice time, PP time and scoring opportunities often hurts fantasy output more than it helps. Its often much better when you have just a couple go-to guys because you know they're getting all the PP time and quality chances and then you get complimentary guys skating with them who are the beneficiaries of it. (see Pascal Dupuis last season for example).
I think the best option on that list is Kovie, he consistently produces year in and year out and he is THE guy in NJ. After that probably St. Louis because he sets up Stamkos and then Eberle
