Confirmed with Link: Tomas Plekanec Back with Habs (1-Year @ $2.25M + Bonuses - Could Go to $3.5M)

[Milhouse40]

This signing means the following:

We are officially in a rebuild

We will not pickup a number one centre

We are in rebuild mode

I'm good with that

Lol, no we're not.
If you go into rebuild and take a bad contract, you don't ask for a 25 years old winger instead of good pick or a prospect.
If you go into a rebuild, you don't make a lateral trade with Galchenyuk, you go for a Tatar's type of return.
If you go into a rebuild you play the kids like Juulsen, Mete, DLR...not Plekanec, Shlemko, Benn or Petry.
If you go into a rebuild you do what the Rangers did.

Bergevin simply failed at every attempts he made so far. Either it was trading Pacioretty, getting O'reilly, Tavares or Stastny and now he simply don't have a clue what to do.

Reaves got 2.775M I expect 3.

You’re gonna be shocked when it comes in close to 5

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

[Thebesthockey]

[darknife2311]

[Habs Icing]

How closely can I look?

Well you can look as closely as you want as long as you don't touch her when she's pleasuring you. (I tried to make this post as PC as possible. Don't think I succeed)

then he had no real plan
because all of those were implying lucks except Pacio

 

[The Nightman]

What a joke

 

[Tyson]

I would rather sign Pleks than overpay for overated players like Stastny or ROR

Fourth liners are getting a lot of money this year

‘Go get a dog if you want loyalty ‘ - doesn’t sign Markov

Then goes to sign Plekanec

The way Markov was treated was an embarrassment to tbis organization and in practical terms I imagine gives pause to players looking at possibly coming here. Very disresptful treating a loyal veteran like that. Yet another low point that infuriarates me.

However, it appears MB has dealt straight and respectfully with Plekanec and I think that is a good thing. Defensively Pleks is still useful. I know the worry is CJ does not use him properly but that is another issue. Pleks needs to be on the 4th line as DLR has to be given every chance at 3C.

 

[Thebesthockey]

Hughes
Kotka
poheling

i am good with that

 

[Tyson]

No way

 

[Milhouse40]

One thing for sure, i don't see a clear direction.
Seems to have fired in every directions and hit nothing.
So far at least, the day is not over and i'm sure trades are coming (not meaning Habs trade)

Julien is paid to win games, I see him using old war dogs like Pleks more than he probably should. The downside

 

[OldCraig71]

Ya, but who's our 1st liner?

 

[ArtPeur]

Rebuilding with Pleks?? Um no. It’s the opposite
We’re trying to shut teams down to win 2-1.

Don't worry, we'll try to shutdown teams and lose 2-0

Well the habs are just letting go all ufas , all those prices are awful

Perron , JJ , Even Tavares looks like a mess

but they picked Kotka over zadina because of that , Kotka will take a bit more time to make the NHL.

Makes sense

Embrace de tank finally , we deserves it

Then we will win less games. DLR is offensively challenged but he has a better chance of production than Pleks, and the 3rd line needs to kick in.

 

[Hostile Offer]

He’s done why ? Bring youth

What youth?

The loyalty comment was targeted at Radulov but nice try

 

[Habs Icing]

He will always be first in Clodes heart.

CLODE: Pleky, we got big plans for you this coming season. You're gonna make the Habs into a contender. At the start of the year we'll trade you for a 1st round draft pick. You're gonna play so crappy for your new team they put you on waivers. We'll pick you up and you start to play like your old self. At the TDL we'll trade you for another 1st. We'll reward you with a platinum watch at the end of the year and Lshap will share Penelope Cruz and salma Hayek with you for a year on his island resort.

PLEKY: A platinum watch huh.. (Just look at the expression on his face.)

 

[Zorba]

Molson promises changes yet Drouin, Danault and Pleks are our centres. Nice
