People might call it small sample size but for those who said Eller couldn't be a top 6 center, especially over the great playmaker DD, well that theory can stop.
DD centering Galchenyuk in the top 6, has 1 assist I think, or maybe none in 8 or so games.
Galchenyuk centered by DD in the top 6, 0 pt -10
Eller centering Galchenyuk in a legit top 6 role, 4 pts in 5 games.
Galchenyuk being centered by Eller, 5 goals in 5 games.
Sad thing is that we all know the when DD comes back, he will probably take the top 6 center role over Galchenyuk or Eller again for some games until the end of the season.
I get that DD is persona non-grata around here
But he's not even playing now, and people are still finding reasons to dump on him. I'm not a fan either, but come on.
