Player Discussion Tomas Plekanec - Plekasex Edition

[LaP]

If Davidson gets a 3rd Plekanec gets you a 2nd for sure. Just have to wait what else is added on top of the pick.

Wait what Davidson was traded for a 3rd round pick rofl. So we waive him and he fetch a better return than Jerabek lol all this so Benn and Schlemko could play ...

This GM ... he's on his way to deserve the worst than Houle title and i never thought this accomplishment would be possible.

here’s my favourite plek moment

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I’m so happy we’re actually moving him and he’ll get a chance to win.

I don’t think it’s unrealistic to expect a late 1st either.

That would be robbery, but I've heard it enough around here that I'm starting to believe it.

Wow, imagine what his reaction was after game 7 ?

 

[Goldenhands]

At this point I expect a 2nd + a fourth or fifth round pick for Pleks or a 2nd + a B level prospect..

You just need two team to like him to bring the price up....Other than his salary, there is a lot to like about him, and he's better and more proven than a lot of centers out there now that brassard has been moved.

should be interesting

 

[Bacchus1]

Let’s see if our GM can strike a good deal. I expect at least a high 2nd +. I’d even take a very good prospect who is a year away

If Brassard and Davidson got what they got, Plecks should be leaning more towards Brassard. The fact that he isn’t signed past this year should actually increase his value. It won’t mess with a team’s pay roll structure.

Ideally we’d get a very good center prospect that we could send to Laval now, and could try to make the Habs next season.

 

[WinterLion]

I'm very sad to say goodbye to Turtleneck Plek. He has been such a great and underrated player for us and has lasted through all kinds of coaches and GM's. Trading him is the right thing to do, but I'm still sad.

Its the dream.

it's been fun, but see ya...

Trivia: Plekanec is the 2nd player from his draft year that played in the most NHL games, behind Dan Hamhuis.

2001 NHL Entry Draft | Hockey-Reference.com

He was a great 3rd round pick, and a great development story.Did his time in the minors (3 years in the AHL), slowly made the NHL and climbed line by line until he was on the Kostitsyn-Plekanec-Kovalev top line in 07-08.Then he stayed a serviceable two-way (and then defensive) center.A coaches' player.

Amazing how there was no scandal at all involving Plekanec playing so long in this city.Only bad thing that stuck was the "I played like a little girl" comment.

Wish him well.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

That would be robbery, but I've heard it enough around here that I'm starting to believe it.

Teams that believe they can win this year and missed out on Brassard will make a run for him and not worry about a late 1st imo.

 

[Pickles]

I hope he goes to a winner and gets a shot at the cup.

 

[Maliki2]

I liked Pleks but his time has come and gone. Get what we can..see if he will sign for bargain in the off season. Wouldnt mind bringing him back as 3c or 4c if the price was right.

 

[SakuKoivu11]

Goodbye Pleky

 

[the]

I’m a Plekanec fan and even if the last 2 years were tough to watch, I still wish him all the best and hope he can find a bit of his game back with a new team and maybe even win the Cup.

Crazy to think of all the coaches he had during his 13 years in MTL, Julien, Gainey, Carbonneau, Gainey, Martin, Cunneyworth, Therrien, Julien.

It says a lot about a player when all his coaches gave him key roles in this team and have nothing but great words to say about him.

Good luck Plekanec and thank you for all those years.

 

[GREMLIN]

It’s time for you to go but I will always love you Pleky.

Can’t wait to see what the return will be.

 

[donghabs98]

Honestly with the lack of good rental centers avaliable and the fact we can retain max salary I'm going to be dissapointed if Bergevin doesn't get at least a late 1st or 2nd+prospect

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Chances are that no one is really interested and thus, he will remain a Hab or go for peanuts. Remember, we are experiencing Bergevin, not competence.

 

[Scintillating10]

Knowing Bergevin the return will be disappointing.

Teams are interrested, there's absolutely no doubt about it, they're already calling bergevin a we speak

 

[LaP]

Is he scratched tonight? If not MB is dumb.

 

[hockeyfan2k18]

Really fell off over the last few years but still a quality player. Time to move on.
