Galchenyuk is not a franchise centre yet. I really like the way he has started out the season....but I think you're jumping the gun.

Even if Chucky is a legit center and franchise player, trading Plek ain't the way to go.

I don't care about this season.

I'm looking at the next 5 years.

For Asp

Plekanec is a leader and a solid player. What has Yak shown in the NHL?
- BingoLady

Pleks is as close to a Selke candidate that MTL has right now, and that type of C is a requirement, to me, to go deep in the POs

I get it. MacTavish has to be feeling some heat. I just don't think the Habs are as deep at C that they could afford to flip Plekanec and lose say DD or even Galchenyuk to injury.
- Pie

I don't know when we will see Galchenyuk playing centre. If he plays better there, he has to play there at some point. The sooner the better.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

The day Galchenuyk becomes center will also be the day DD becomes expendable

Live for today. Can't worry about 3-4 years down the road. What id PK has a career ending injury or Price pulls a Roy after an 8-1 loss and is shipped to Seattle.

So why would EDM trade a franchise player for an old washeup up soft player like Plek ?

Old washeup soft player?

Plekanec is a very good two-way center.

As a Habs fan, you have to be happy. But I picked up Tampa and Bishop in my pool

De la Rose fill in at Center for an injury?

Might be awhile

Old washeup soft player?

Plekanec is a very good two-way center and our #1 center at the moment
- sEb_666

Agreed

The day Galchenuyk becomes center will also be the day DD becomes expandable
- WaterBoy

Probably, unless they DD is #2 and Plek #3

Ok.

Then trade your next 4 first-round picks and build a stacked team to win the cup.

Don't know if Bergevin can move his deal ($$$). Maybe if the cap goes up.

Probably, unless they DD is #2 and Plek #3
- fidopro

that was my thought. Eller's not really making a case for much, although they're looking a bit better

- Pie

Very true, especially when your two other centers are DD and Eller...

Ok.

If they can win the cup and pick up a decent player for a 1st or 2 I would.
