I hate Plekanec (mostly because of the turtlenecks), but I like the trade. Basically gave up nothing for a solid C, who can move up in the lineup if needed. Great on the PK too.
You can say one thing, but your tone and body language says something else. Excited is not what I would have used at all based on the interview I saw.
Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo, holding short, ready for takeoff!The leafs have more talent then the starting line up at the landing strip by the air port.

How excited should he be?You can say one thing, but your tone and body language says something else. Excited is not what I would have used at all based on the interview I saw.
oh my, apparently he’s out on the ice goatee-less... Lou!maybe he’s special, we’ll see soon enough if he gets to keep his goatee lol
Third was expected return by Habs fans. Apparently there was deal in place for him to Winnipeg, but Pleks wanted to stay in the East and MTL management wanted to please him for potentially getting him back in the summer. That is how he ended with us, but we paid the price of original deal offered. So we should thank Winnipeg here for overpriced deal. Looking at today’s deals for Hartman Stasny we still got a bargain.Remember when everyone dissected AM’s tone and body language from draft night for months? This guy is along time pro, playing for his next contract, he’s going to be fine.
Plekanec is a good addition to our centre depth, and all we gave up was one of two second round picks. Would I have preferred to give up a third? For sure, but our guys will do great work with our existing second and our third, so I am fine with this deal.
I would say statsny and Nash are better with better history but brassard is a push.Nash, Brassard, and Statsny all got a 1st+ and aren't really much better than Plekanec
Do you think Sweden (Borgman) is part of Russia?For those that are worried about a second Rd pk.
Leaf management is very good at picking up quality players from Russia over the past couple of yrs .
Zaitsev
Borgman
How's Plekasex doing so far?
What does acquiring Turtleneck have to do with selling everyone and tanking? Please, come on. We have our own rentals. Enjoy your JVR it Bozak or whoever you can't bear to live without. This was a waste trade.Yes let's sell the UFa and tank. Great message to the team that that has been the best in the NHl the past 15 games.
Every top team can make moves like this except the Leafs.
Not great compared to the Plekanec I remember in Montreal, but obviously leagues ahead of Moore/Gauthier. Not a good first game for him, but it's clear he has more to bring to the table once he gets comfortable.
Ryan Suter once said it takes a player about ~20 games before he gets comfortable with the new system.
