Wow, a two years contract for Plekanec.

I dont know what the terms might be but BargainBin is a GREAT gm. Period.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Good news.

 

[Mario le Magnifique]

AWESOME !

 

[Bergevillain]

Interesting. He's playing really well lately but I'm sure some are going to be angry

 

[Seb]

My guess is 5.6M$

6M$ per Bobby Mac. Wasn't too far.

 

[Deebs]

Outstanding term on this deal. Kudos Bergey

 

[Hoople]

Great news!!!!

 

[Ezpz]

Fine with this. Not an overcommitment.

 

[CapSpace]

I'm fine with this. There is no way we could snatch a possible UFA Kopitar next summer so we better keep a constant guy like Plek for 2 more years.

 

[InglewoodJack]

Glad he's getting his payday. Most underrated Hab in years.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Much rather pay more for a shorter term, great deal.

Fitting that I'm reading this while eat McDonald's because, bah bah bah bah baaaaah, I'm lovin' the extension!

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

Awesome.

 

[Tabarouette]

I will always defend Plekanec and i'm glad he's staying here, but man that's a lot of money.

 

[No More Subban]

So happy about this. Really thought the Habs would move on from him

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I'm glad he's staying with us and people can stop throwing arguably our most underrated player into trade proposals. The term and money is great.

 

[That Habs Fan]

Awesome! Good term, bit of an overpayment but he's earned it, I'll consider it a bit of backpay

 

[Church]

Woot Woot ! We love you Pleky!

 

[RussCourtnallsGhost]

Wow. Did not expect this! Amazing deal. Seriously, Plekanec just accepted a 2 year deal worth, what, 11 million? He could've easily signed a guaranteed 30 million dollar deal (at minimum) when he hit UFA. That's freakin crazy.

 

[Jeffrey]

****...at least it's 2 years only..

 

[waffledave]

Holy cow! That's a solid deal for everyone involved.

How the hell do you only commit 2 years for an upcoming UFA?

That money will come off the books just in time to double Price's salary.

Pleks would have gotten $6-$7 mil over 5+ years on the open market.

Nice to finally have vets who take deals to benefit the team rather than themselves.
