Lars Eller - Danmarks svar på Peter Forsberg
Lars Eller er et brandvarmt navn forud for den kommende NHL draft. På den oficielle NHL hjemmeside er der et interview med Jens Gustavsson, der er træner for det succesfulde junior hold i Frölunda. Når Lars Ellers træner skal beskrive det danske stjerneskud bliver der ikke holdt igen med de rosende ord. Således udtaler han:
“Lars is very determined in his goal-settings, both as an individual and a team player. He has a fantastic attitude to improve his game every day. I can honestly say I don’t see any weaknesses in his offensive game,"
“What Eller needs to continue improving, like most young players, is his play without the puck. But Lars had a fantastic season. He has led the team with his play in a very mature way. It`s hard to compare young players with today’s star players, but I would say Lars is Denmark’s answer to Peter Forsberg.”
Lars Eller er ellers ofte af flere scouts blevet sammenlignet med en anden stor svensk stjerne, nemlig Henrik Zetterberg.
