imo Eller doesn't have the jam of a 4th line center. white is perfect. Eller needs to beat out DD for 2nd line minutes - or galchenyuk....3rd line center ideally plays shut down role with some offensive upside

Problem is you can't beat out someone for a center job by playing on wing. And if you're gonna play him on the fourth line, yes, give him the center spot. With Moen and armstrong, they can atleast be a pretty effective shutdown line.

Good check by Cole to retrieve the puck and pass it to Eller in front but man, Eller must play more intelligently and intensely. You must beat the coverage in that situation.

On the other end.....Latendresse looks so much slower and out of sync. A guy that was so lights out in Minny not too long ago.

I have been watching the Sens this season and Gui is completely lost. Really sad. The concussion completely transformed his game imo.

Wait so, Eller a shutdown center with offensive upside can't play 3rd line ?

Thing is, you can't just throw Eller there Just because we "feel" he might get it going. He doesn't show anything. Talented player can show something even on a 4th line. Besides, a Eller-Armstrong-Moen could be used as a 3rd line once in a while. Numbering the lines are just that...numbers. Doesn't mean that's how it will be played out.
