I don't like giving up a 2nd round pick for a minor upgrade (and rental) on the fourth line if we weren't going to make any trades to fill the issues we have on defence. We're a contender, but I would put our odds of winning very low.
I don't think the intent was to be done with Plekanec only. I feel we were in on the two big D names out there but there was just no deal that made sense, or allowed to be done in the case of Green if he didn't waive his NTC.
