Lars Eller would be a great captain on the Washington Capitals.
Of course, the Washington Capitals are already well equipped with captains in Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom and John Carlson but there will come a time when Ovechkin and Backstrom will skate off into the sunset. When that happens, Lars Eller should get the captain spot.
Eller began his career in 2009-10 as a member of the St. Louis Blues and continued for six years with the Montreal Canadiens. In 2016 the Caps traded for Eller in exchange for second round picks in 2017 and 2018.
