Metallica Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 He is being held out of the line up today. Wonder who he's being traded to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meller93 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 That’s definitely a pretty good indication. I’d guess the other teams who were trying to get Brassard will now be lining up for Plex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallica Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Yeah he would be the best option for teams now, but holy crap? a lot of players being held out of line ups today. Wonder why is trade deadline coming up soon ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Pleks is a no brainer Byron, Benn, Schlemko would be good depth for teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine of Loving Grace Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Davidson getting moved for a third is crazy. If defenceman are that valuable right now, trade them all and trade them fast. Schlemko, Benn, Morrow, heck maybe a team is dumb and takes Alzner.

Chips Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 It must be a difficult night for Plexi to sit out and watch as his time with the habs comes to an end; but if this gives him a change to move to a contender with a chance for a long cup run! then so be it; Best to him and much thanks to him, years on the ice for the Canadiens, he has left his mark for sure. A career with ups and downs but a steady two way center that all Coaches relied on; here's hoping his last move is to bring some young talent and a few good picks in return. Cheers! Plexi.

Go HABS Go! Very well said Chips. Some of us should try to contact him on the team sites to express our appreciation and gratitude for the sacrifice and dedication this great athlete has blessed us with. A wonderful Montreal Canadien. We should rightly miss him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plex may have underperformed his current contract, but he played his ass off 99% of the time over the years....playing hard minutes against the other team's best, killing penalties, ect.

Prime Minister Koivu Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Plex is the example of a great hockey story. Drafted later (round 3 or 4 don't remember), spent his time in the minors and worked his ass off. Eventually makes the big team, continues to work his ass off and is used as 1st line, 2nd line and 3rd line centre over his career. Had some very good offensive numbers as well. I wish him the best and hope he wins a cup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hab29RETIRED Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I liked Pleks. Was a big supporter of his during the "I played like a little girl" years. But he should have been moved 2 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get this miasma that descends upon people and causes them to forget that players don't excel forever. Sure, some guys play to age 38, but by and large once they hit their early 30s they're on borrowed time. Pleks' decline was discernable from the long slumps he had in the year or two leading up to the collapse in his offensive game last year. But everybody said this was fear-mongering. Some people are making the same mistake with MaxPac, IMHO. He should be thought of as a guy who has maybe 2-3 peak years left - if that. Frankly, I'm not seeing that extra boost of speed he used to have, and sometimes wonder if he's looking at a relatively early decline. Anyhow, the point is that teams need to take the age factor seriously, but often don't, clinging instead to the belief that a 'proven performer' will by definition keep coming through.

I know of Kerby Rychel. Power forward. Left winger. Lots of folks liked him during his draft year, but he's been in the farm for a while now. No sure what he's projections are at this point. I know nothing of the defenseman coming out way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbhatt Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 As much as the thought of seeing him in a Leafs jersey disturbs me, it's better than being shipped off to Winterpeg I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallica Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 We're keeping 50% of Plekenec salary and this is all Bergevin can get??????? I am really scared now for tomorrow if he trades Pacioretty or galchenyuk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really scared now for tomorrow if he trades Pacioretty or galchenyuk. That is surprising - but that salary is only on the books until this summer. It's not much of a concession from our point of view (although it does give the Leafs some extra room to work with during this deadline as they load up for a Cup run).
