The Washington Capitals trade for Lars Eller
TSN: The Pittsburgh Penguins traded forward Lars Eller to the Washington Capitals for a 2025 fifth-round pick and a 2027 third-round pick.
“We are excited to welcome Lars back to our organization,” Capitals general manager Chris Patrick said. “This move enhances our depth at the critical center position. Lars is a versatile player that we are confident will strengthen our team’s depth and competitiveness.”
Lars Eller, acquired by WSH, is a veteran bottom six defensive centre. Still has reasonably decent puck skills and skating, but his main value is in his own end of the ice. #AllCaps pic.twitter.com/97rf4teprw
