Let me know your thoughts on this trade
Need to make some more moves
That’s all it takes and Buffalo can’t do that?????
I've always admired Lars Eller's game. Too bad Marc Bergevin didn't as he traded Eller to the Caps for 2 worthless draft choices just when the Habs needed centers. Yes he thrived in Washington scoring the Cup winning goal, but also scored the almost forgotten & most important goal of that run: Caps had lost the first 2 games of the opening round series, and were in OT in game 3. A wrong result would put them down 3 games to zero. But Lars came through with the OT winner and the rest is history.
Good deal for the Caps. Strome, Eller, PLD up the middle 1, 2, 3. Caps copied the Pens 3 center model when they won the Cup with Backstrom, Kuzy, and Eller. Pens had Sid, Geno, and HBK with Bonino and or Jordan Staal in 2009.
Pens are now worse without Eller. Caps are better.
Malkin and Letang not going anywhere.
Christmas tree up before Thanksgiving. Yikes.
As a caps fan I am HYPED. I love Lars Eller. I love his game. I love that in a pinch he can play 2nd line center. Like you said, lapierre has played average at best. Putting Lars as the 3rd line canter changes improved that line significantly. He knows the team and many of the guys already. I hope they can resign him.
Caps fan here…welcome home son ❤
Thank You, once again, Mike, for the updates on the trades, as well as your daily videos.
caps fan here.
didn't know caps had cap space? but more depth with a solid player who never seems to be injured, welcome back Lars.
It looks to me as if Kyle Dubas, Pittsburgh Penguins' GM, isn't going to be going with these other players, but for their Core Four Or Five, for now. Let me know what you think
Lars has nothing to do in Pittsburgh, in Washington he can have a shot at repeating 2018 playoff run. There's the feeling that the Caps are determined to go deep in playoff this season. They are not flashy but very solid, efficient the way they are playing. It would be great to have both SC & Ovi goal record this season.
Thanks for the update Mike!
Great pick-up for Caps.
Penguins sinking like stone…won't be making the playoffs this year.
