I'd be really surprised if the Caps traded Eller, even with McMichael entering the fray. I think you might see McMichael starting on the wing, then transitioning to center in a couple seasons. Eller is one of the more consistent performers, and he has added value as a player who can move up in the lineup if Backstrom or Kuznetsov are injured.
