One of the Pens better fwds. Basically one of the few who can still defend too which... yay. Not a bad return for Pens though.

 

[Coffee]

Finally the rebuild starts

 

[BrookswasHere44]

'27?! WTH haha

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Good for Washington to jump on him early. He's been very good for the Pens and a good pk'er as well. Washington knows him well anyway.

 

[hamzarocks]

Eller was a big piece in that 2018 cup

This is the best the caps have looked since 2018 and Eller is also playing pretty good

Not a bad deal for the Caps

Pens also get to continue the rebuild

 

[Edgelord]

Leafs should have went after him IMO

 

[Pancakes]

Interesting move given that Dubas allegedly wants to add players to the roster and not just dump guys for futures.

Perhaps the rumors are wrong or perhaps this is a precursor to another move

 

[eojsmada]

Wow....Dubas ain't playing around, I guess. Dumpster fire it is in Pittsburgh

 

[Peasy]

A year and many bad moves to late.

So much for the Pens "competing"

 

[SomeDude]

2027, eh?

Don't worry Sid, help is coming. All you have to do is play until you're 63.

 

[molon labe]

So we're trading with Washington and we're dealing the only offense at-all in the bottom 6. Lol.

Not sure why you wouldn't just hold him to the deadline at this point. He's a deadline guy all day. Bizarre. Or maybe it isn't for this lot.

 

[dirtydanglez]

hopefully the start of the exodus from pittsburgh.

 

[Peasy]

Leafs should have went after him IMO

You think he would willingly trade with the Leafs

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Shit deal for Pittsburgh.

Why not hang onto Eller until the deadline?

What's with Dubas and the 2027 picks?

 

[River Meadow]

Why did Pens trade him?

They're gonna be competing for the cup this year.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Nice deal for the caps. Surprised Pitt did this right now.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Not bad for the pens and caps.

 

[MessierII]

Am I remembering wrong or did he play there years ago?

 

[Edgelord]

You think he would willingly trade with the Leafs

yup, considering our prospects are mainly guys selected under him, I'm sure there are a few he is keen on

 

[SEALBound]

Great deal for the Caps.

Not the return I was hoping for...damn.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

My boy is back , going for that second cup ring, Larry Legend

 

[Zbynek]

Dubas is an absolute moron.

 

[BillyOcean]

Sort of surprised they didn't wait until the deadline myself. That guy couldn't be too far removed from what Adam Henrique provided last year.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Am I remembering wrong or did he play there years ago?

He scored their Cup winner in 2018 lol
