Considering we literally did the exact same thing last year (trading a 2nd for a solid bottom 6 C rental (which is still an overpayment in the first place) only to neuter the hell out of him with our deployment)... yeah. I mean, this is Brian Boyle 2.0.He seems to be improving every game and will hopefully be a factor for us in the playoffs.
Nonetheless, it's clear that we overpaid to acquire him as a rental. I hope management has learned it's lesson.

I don't like Plekanec.
We should have the following down the middle for the playoffs:
Matthews
Kadri
Nylander
Bozak
Full lineup:
Hyman - Matthews - Kapanen
Marleau - Kadri - Marner
JVR - Nylander - Brown
Johnsson - Bozak - Komarov
I really wanted to like the deal and was hoping he would give us C depth and some secondary scoring while helping the special teams units.
He's done none of the above. Completely useless. I'm in agreement with other posters and say Moore is a much better option.
I really have a hard time believing hes better than Moore or Gauthier.
He has sucked, but don't forget the only reason we got him is because Moore sucked too.
I am curious if people think he is worse than Boyle?He has sucked, but don't forget the only reason we got him is because Moore sucked too.

I liked Boyle better to date. Still want to see what he bring playoffs time, because he bears no resemblance to what people said we were getting.I am curious if people think he is worse than Boyle?
