First off, I like Eller. I think most here appreciate his good 3rd line play and PKing over the years. We all know that this might be his last year here. He shouldn't be in or remain in the top 6 for long but I think Lavs is sending the strongest signal that he can to Mantha and his low intensity play. To raise that intensity up and keep it there consistently. Lavs has said he will get back in the lineup and I think it will be pretty soon. You can see now that the trade between the Red Wings and Caps was one loafer for another as both have had struggles. I think if Mantha simply can not float as much (only Ovi is allowed to do that on this team), he will be a solid contributor soon and for the playoffs because he can make a difference and have success here.
