People want Eller to play with more talented wingers such as pacioretty/Galchenyuk. Some have said to re-unite EGG line on many occasions.
People also want Galchenyuk as a C getting top 6 minutes. Given that, that's the ONLY combination possible, Eller would need to play wing.
OR
People need to get over Eller getting 'offensive minutes' and realize he's our 3rd line center.
It seems people want the best of both worlds here but don't understand what exactly it implies...
Obviously, I'd rather Eller as a 3rd line C rather than 2nd line winger for multiple reasons. I would never promote a move to wing for him.
Truth be told that 2nd line looks like crap. There's more talent on the 3rd line even with Prust. If DD plays winger he should play wing to Eller and Galchenyuk should center PAP/Sekac and Gallagher(long time chemistry).
Your assuming when people make these comments they mean AND instead of OR. I'd be happy if Eller became our 2nd line center, I'd also be happy if Galchenyuk did, I want either to happen not both.
Your the only one whose suggested reuniting the EGG line AND making Galchenyuk C. I think for everyone else it was an either or.
You may not realize it but you're indeed proving my point. The general consensus is Eller should be in top 6 AND galchenyuk should be a C. The only way this is possible is if Eller is a winger or Galchenyuk is 3rd line C, therefore it is ridiculous.
I don't see how his post supports your. Nowhere did this guy say Eller needed to be in the top-6, he simply said you can't have Desharnais and Galchenyuk as centers because both are weak defensively.
