...Where has this idea been created that Eller isn't a "therrien" player?
He is trying Eller in a different role right now.
Eller is a mainstay on the PK, and he's been getting power play time as well, despite not having offensive results at all in the last 25 games.
Exactly! Everyone is crying that Eller lost his job to DLR when in reality, he got promoted to the first line and played the 2nd most minutes of any forward tonight.
But they claim he lost his confidence because he doesn't score on every opportunity. Too much recency bias on this forum.
Too many people have unrealistic expectations of Eller, they think because he was drafted in the first round, he should be a first line player because he has shown flashes of being capable.
The reality is he is a solid third line player who can fill in, on the top six.
