So he has one 2 goal game and all of a sudden we should sign him immediately?

Don't you criticize the Eller supporters in here for what you claim to be that exact reason?

But seriously, how do they replace his 20-25 minutes per night? More Diaz?

I'd sign him, but not for over 2 years.

Which will probably be a problem, since he'll probably want to sign his "last deal".

Also, how could someone compare Markov and Eller?

When was the last time Markov was an elite two-way physical 2nd line centre?

I think it's either 2 years here or 4 years in Washington. Always been in favour of keeping him but if the Habs miss the playoffs, they will trade him at the deadline.

Agreed. Eller is brutal.

I'd be ok with two more years. Pls make a note.

Since there's virtually no chance of them missing at this point (the east sucks) I suspect it's give him what he wants or he Souray's off into the sunset

2 years $10M or 3 years, $13M

How's the little one?

Agreed. Eller is brutal.

He's not brutal.

He's on pace for his usual 35-ish points.

K. He should be measured by points and points alone.

Well, we could also use his + / - if you want.

Speaking of René Bourque, can't they just put him on waivers and forget he exists?

Good God that guy is useless.

How about his IQ? Maybe that's deficient as well. Let me know.
