I blame Michel Therrien for the lack of production so far from both Lars Eller and Alexander Semin, and that’s what leads me to the conclusion that both should be traded. After all, the coach is obviously not interested in playing either player, and his vendetta against them is hurting the second line’s production, Alex Galchenyuk‘s progress at centre, and is forcing Brian Flynn to play a style of hockey he should not be asked to play.
There’s really no point to explaining the position that Michel Therrien has when it comes to Lars Eller since it’s been well documented for half of a decade now.
