Islanders sign Eberle to 5-year contract reportedly worth $27.5M

The New York Islanders inked forward Jordan Eberle to a five-year deal, the club announced Friday.

The contract will carry an average annual value of $5.5 million, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.

Eberle's production dropped off in his second season with the Islanders, as he managed just 19 goals and 37 points in 78 games after notching 25 goals and 59 points in 2017-18 following a trade from the Edmonton Oilers.

The 29-year-old is coming off a six-year, $36-million pact he signed with the Oilers in 2012.
