Eller craves stability after trade to Capitals (Yahoo Sports)

When Lars Eller was playing for the Montreal Canadiens, he was a man without a position whose name was constantly bandied about in trade talks. Following a trade to the Washington Capitals, Eller knows he'll start next season as the third-line center behind All-Stars Nicklas Backstrom and Evgeni Kuznetsov. ''When a team shows that much interest in you and has a specific need and finds a player that they think can fill that need, then I think that's the best thing for me and I think it's good for Washington,'' Eller said on a conference call Monday.
