"Tomas Plekanec wanted to stay in the Eastern Conference if he was going to move. He had no trade protection, but Marc Bergevin worked on finding a solution he'd be happy with. An extension was discussed, and parameters are there for him to return to MTL this summer"
If Beregvin would have used this type of nice guy tactic with Markov, we could have probably turned him into couple more second round picks right now
