Last game he managed to score the OT goal but he did not have a good game. He is a very inconsistent player. He has a couple of good games and people are fooled into thinking we have some special. Those people give him a free pass when he shits the bed for the next 10.
His strength is his puck possession. He has no other strengths. He doesnt have a great shot. He isnt a great passer in fact most of the time he doesnt even look when he passes. The odd time one if his passes gets through. Most are turnovers. He also takes lazy and selfish penalties. Like the double minor against Montreal. He is also overrated defensively. He has been in the ice for more goals against than any other Caps forward. And its not like he is matching against top lines. That's Backstrom line that gets that assignment.
Comparing Eller to Backstrom is an insult to Backstrom. Sure he has some decent games but when he isn't playing well he is closer to a Burakovsky than he is a Backstrom.
I have never been a fan of his game because if his inconsistent play. I have lost whatever respect I had for him in the first game of the season. When he was over celebrating on the 7th goal of a 7-0 game. Eller got his ass kicked for that. I would have kicked his ass too. It was classless.

Certainly respect your different view, no problem!
I’ll clarify one or two things here.
I agree, it would be an insult to Backstrom, had I said that Eller and Backy were on EQUAL par, Maaco!
If I say that a fresh dog terd, and a rotten apple are both SOFT, then the EMPHASIS of the comparison is on the word SOFT!! That is NOT saying that an apple is a dog terd, thereby INSULTING the apple!
With Eller and Backstrom, the commonality is they aren’t known to be fighters, but also are not soft!
I would strongly disagree with your claim that his bad outweighs his good! This is where we simply differ in opinion, and realize that it’s time for you to take DC and I up on the invite to visit here! We hit the cigar club, slam a few shots, and have a blast of a time, that makes our micro-disagreements, pale in comparison!! Get with it, Bro, and come on up!
VIVA GRITTY HOCKEY!!!
