Eberle's as much pass-first (or hold) as Hemsky, but has deadly accuracy, lightning release and much better Hockey-IQ to *select* the best time to shoot.
You'll almost never see him shoot from further than 15 feet from the net. He knows he doesn't have the velocity of a Stamkos or Ovechkin, so he elects to shoot only when his skills are best utilized.
