You think they could have had two second rounders for Plekanec?
You don't sign Plekanec, you let him go in the summer or trade him at the deadline for whatever you get. Who cares about the two second round picks that we got for Eller. We need a center that can compete.
If we are lucky enough (or Price pulls a Halak) and we meet Washington in the ECF, you will curse the day in June when Eller got traded for two late second round picks.
