How much should a Habs 2nd line center produce?

Enough not to get to play on the top lines... and little to no PP time.

Reminds you of someone?

I don't see Eller playing lazy hockey when he is out there, he does what is asked of him.

Plekanec and Desharnais are 2nd line centers.

Eller is not.

- Pecafan Fan


right now..you are right.

If Eller's got any heart though, he should come out strong next year...it should be his breakout year.

Also, DD can't shut down the opponent's top line.

He takes lazy/stupid penalties and unless he gets enough time to get all his weight on it, he's got a weak shot.

He needs to get stronger and be more disciplined.

Point is, Eller should have played a full year in Hamilton.

He was mishandled by habs management because of the Halak trade.

Latendresse had a BOOMING shot. And DD also has a gun.

I love being served refreshments by a midget. It's funny because they are so small.

Stop focusing on the what he can't do you negative nelly, start listing what DD can do.

Shoulder surgery last summer probably didn't help on the getting stronger part.

He can turn any winger into a 30 goal scorer...

edit : AND he can score in the shootout.

Get Stall from Pitts. One would have to think he is tired of being over shadowed by Malkin and Cindy.

Imagine the possibilities, Plecks, Stall, and Eller. Three 2way centers!!!

Just imagine where the team would be if he didn't take those 60 PIMS.

True, and I'm not so much criticizing as saying what I think he needs to do going forward.

Contrary to others, I don't think another year in the AHL would've helped Eller that much...he was almost a point per game player there for a full season...he needed to see where he was at in the big league. Now he knows...he's got two seasons in, it's time for him to step up next season.
