What is the history with Timmins wanting him? Was he on his original draft list, then asked for him in the Halak trade? Or am I just making stuff up?

Going by memory, I think he was ranked just after McDonaugh on our list. Not 100% sure though.

Sorel, 'fant d'chienne!
Oh, yeah he's special alright. #1C before the end of the year, I agree. Really his line will be no. 1 period.
Need I mention, first official game since Gryba?

You're right. But if he works hard like he did, creates chances, help his line not getting stuck in our own end and play against the opposite top scoring line he'll be pretty essential every game. Just need to work on his consistency, like the majority of players his age.

Let's see, if Eller is 2 times better than Desharnais and Desharnais got 3.5...
Your post might explain why Nonis went fully insane and gave Kessel $8m.
I just don't understand that.

He definitely won't...but his last year alone and tonights game should really make it clear to MT that we have a #2C on our hands atm, he should be utilized (I personally think he will if all goes right)
And yesterday I had to argue with a couple of members on this board that wants to see Eller on our 4th line.

un gros bonhomme!
I love this kid. RDS was trashing him so much during pre-season. ****ing Benoit Brunet man.
For now, until he proves otherwise, Eller is a god. A god that has bled, but a god nonetheless

Are you really surprised? This board....man I'm tired of saying it.
I think Eller will be one of the most important players for us over the next 5 years and beyond. That being said he's a 2C at best.
The EGG line deserves at least some extra TOI, if not official 2nd line status after that game.
If any line would benefit as the exploitation line, its the DD line. Sure, shelter them. But limit their minutes in favour of the clearly more effective plek and eller lines.
MT better get his head out of his ass, and quick:
Anyway, good for Eller. Hopefully he keeps it up.
