To be fair he would have easily got the same contract with multiple teams.
2.25 mil for 1 year... Come on, that's a great deal to have Plek, he is still a great shutdown man and a solid veteran center in a proper role. Many teams would jump on that, he's just not good for us because he will be played out of position.I doubt that
mother of god, its just a big cycle of ******ation. Can we get DD and Gionta back too?
LOL DD.. Good riddance. Let's stop talking about begones and fringe NHLers plz.I never thought I say this, but at this point, why not bring back DD?
I mean Patch will be happy and hopefully boost his numbers and value before the trade deadline.......
I can't believe how far we've fallen
I really don't think Plekanec is gonna be a ticket seller here.. I get your frustration though. He's not needed on this team, but I enjoy the human side of it, the guy wants to be here, we're not going anywhere, so let it be.
Markovs play hasn't fallen off a cliff unlike plekachuWelcome back Pleky!!!!! Unlike Markov, he accepted a huge pay drop to end his carreer here!! Thats what a real Habs is about!!
his plays was declining but was still a decent second pairing caliber...Markovs play hasn't fallen off a cliff unlike plekachu
He was our 2nd best dman 2 seasons ago. Some would argue he was better on most nights than weber. Why should he be take peanuts. Pleks went from a 70 point center to barely being able to wrist a Gionta at the goalies chest. Never seen anyone reduce their linemates as badly as pleks. He will destroy any so called development for his wingers. Can't stand the tunnel vision turtleneck puckhog.his plays was declining but was still a decent second pairing caliber...
Can someone explain to me the need of this signing? DLR can make the job as the 4th center and maybe pk specialist. Wait for Pleky to be 2nd line center by December...
Leafs signs Tavares, Habs signs Plekanec.
Doesn't he want to win? He can go be a 4th liner for a cup contender. You don't think he'll be a ticket seller, but one of our main problems is over loyatly to our decent veteran players. We glorify "decent" players in this franchise because the size / passion of our fanbase.
still waiting to see the results on Subban, Galchenyuk...Maybe they will try to squeeze out another draft pick out of him at the deadline.
Maybe they like having him around for the young guys. He's pretty well known for his professionalism. He one of those "first guy at practice" kind of breed.
I just hope he doesn't take ice time away from any young guy who could be showing something. Otherwise, whatever.
