This should work. Not exactly sure how others do it but that's how I make it work.

DLR has nearly 100 games in the NHL. He hasn't distinguished himself in any way. If you can't stand out at all in limited, easier minutes, I'm not sure why harder minutes is going to help him. Lets not pretend he's got another offensive gear. He's never been an offensive player.

100 NHL games...where about 80 of those games he's played less then 10 mins on the 4th line with a bunch of quasi-NHLers.

Shocking he hasn't been able to be a PPG player under those circumstances.

The ONLY real chance he's gotten this year we're the back to back games against the Wings this year and what do you know...he has 4pts in those 2 games.

As for him playing harder minutes...I'm not suggesting we thrust him into a 18 mins per night role against top lines.

But what's the harm with him getting spot duty here and there?

That's how you develop players...he has no role and no confidence from the coaching staff, then you wonder why he's so non-descript.

Look, I'm not suggesting he's a PPG player, but there's more there and the coaching staff doesn't seem invested whatsoever at even trying to extract it.

DLR is fine at cutting off passing lanes, but he's garbage at managing the puck and his reads are to slow.

And Plekanec excels at managing the puck? Try to count tonight how many times he just gives the puck away, or fails a clearing attempt on the PK or how he avoids contact at all costs.

Bonk was a decent 3rd C after he left Montreal too. And unless you're including Plekanec's two game cup of coffee, his 2nd (full) season he had 20 goals and finished tied for 5th on the team in points (with Kovalev). He was not some mystery guy, many people where excited about him after his first two full seasons.

Radek Bonk as a Hab is essentially what Plekanec has become today

And yes, Plekanec 2nd full season, he established himself as a key player for the Habs...

Do you think the fact Ribeiro was unexpectedly traded the training camp before Plekanec's first 20 goal season, thus opening up a spot for him on the 2nd line, may have contributed to his breakout?

See...a big part about development is opportunity.

Thanks! I wish I could simply upload a file like every other website in the world.

Same here. It took me a while to figure it out.

The sooner that this season is obviously done to Front Office the sooner we can start opening up the roster. Play DLR with a skill wing or 2, bring up more young guys etc. Give the young guys every opportunity. May get pounded a bit more but hopefully more interesting to watch.

You'll end up with Connor Crisp instead of Kyle Connor if you ask MB to get someone named "Connor"...

or Connor McDavid

 

[LaP]

fur sure, but he's at what, his 3rd concussion already ?

I wouldnt count on him as a regular period.

Me neither. But retaining Plekanec instead of getting a pick because supposedly he and his 30 points are irreplaceable is a lot more laughable than slotting Shaw as the 3rd line center next year.

Well, he should get an opportunity after the deadline. But I don't see anything in his numbers or his play to suggest he'll be anything more than a 4th line guy.

My offer from my previous post in response to your initial post, still stands. There may be other reasons as to why it's not loading here.

When the moment is right ... see Alice.

Actually, was only suggesting it as a test so I could understand why it wasn't working. But, I'll leave it up to you.

 

[sampollock]

hey we could cheer for the oilers, lol that is a messed up team,

10 1st round picks and still can't make playoffs

 

[sampollock]

shaw to WPG is a perfect fit....no for what is the ?

 

[sampollock]

could this be to show case?????

Jack Roslovic is projected to start Thursday's game at Anaheim alongside Blake Wheeler and Patrik Laine.
Advice: Roslovic's promotion has bumped Kyle Connor to the fourth line alongside Matt Hendricks and Marko Dano. Roslovic has 11 shots and a minus-5 rating in seven games with the Jets this season. He doesn't have a point in eight career NHL appearances, but this will be a great opportunity for him to finally get on the board.

 

[Ozmodiar]

All we're doing is getting closer to picking 14th or 15th and further away from having the opportunity to draft an impact player.

So Plekanec boosts this team from impact-player draft pick to 14th or 15th spot? Do you really think he's that good a player??

That's quite a positive impact for a team trying to win games.

Let's hope.

Pacioretty has to be traded for a Jack Roslovic type of player/prospect.

Let's hope Bergevin and Cheveldayoff (sp?) has good chemistry since they both comes from Blackhawks familly.

Well he apparently shuts down opponents all on his own. I'm sure it'll be good for a few meaningless wins.

Ideally we wait until after the all stars.
There’s a wild card team out there that will be desperate to make the last run at the playoffs probably that GMs last chance.

Pacioretty Shaw Plekanec will be made available.
We will trade Pacioretty to get a lottery draft pick in hopes for another top 10 pick plus a high prospect. I do see a team like LA Kings wanting more offended. Gabriel Vilardi And a first rounder. Something like so.

 

[SakuKoivu11]

Maybe LA will throw in Kale Calgue and second if we take Gaboriks contract lol
