Jordan Eberle Edmonton Oilers Jersey

The next Joe Sakic?  To say that Jordan Eberle is a clutch performer would be an understatement.  But can he reach the status of a Joe Sakic, Trevor Linden, or even a Steve Yzerman in the years to come?  Well he does have the potential.  And being on a great rebuilding team like the Oilers surrounded by a boat load of young talent (like Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Taylor Hall, Nail Yakupov, Justin Schultz, and Devan Dubnyk) along with some seasoned veterans (like Ryan Smyth, Shawn Horcoff, and Ales Hemsky) can't hurt his chances for success.

He was selected in the first round, 22nd overall, in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft.   During his four-year junior career with the Regina Pats of the Western Hockey League (WHL), he won the CHL Player of the Year Award in 2010, the Doc Seaman Trophy as the scholastic player of the year in 2008 and was a two-time First Team East All-Star in 2008 and 2010. In his second season in the NHL, Eberle was named to the All-Star Game and led the Oilers in goal- and point-scoring.

Internationally, he has competed for Canada in two World Junior Championships, winning gold and silver in 2009 and 2010, respectively. He was named Tournament MVP and Best Forward at the 2010 World Junior Championships and is Canada's second all-time leading scorer at the tournament with 26 points, 5 behind Eric Lindros.  Let the numbers speak for themselves.

Bonus Video

Who can ever forget the greatest goal scored in World Junior History, maybe the most exciting goal in Canadian history.  I rank it ahead of "Crosby's Golden Goal" and Paul Henderson's "Goal Heard 'Round The World" just because of the pure excitement of it.
