The only thing Eller got over Desharnais is goalscoring and size. Eller wasn't that much of a good third line center, he's a guy with potential and a good understanding of his role, but he has a long road ahead of him before taking the responsabilities that DD have. Niether of them is that good at the two way game, Desharnais is way more creative and has huge hockey IQ. In the offensive zone he's as good as anyone on the team and never takes a shift off. Eller, while a hard worker, can disapear at time.
I like them both but at this time of their career DD is ahead of Eller by a fair margin, even when DD had his 22pts in 48gp season he was realy impressive, while Eller has been good but nothing to write home about. If eller can become more productive and contributemore on the scoresheet i'd be happy to move DD to the wing and move Eller to second line duties behind Plek.
