980ish games of habs cooties and filth built up in pleks. Enough to make anyone creepy

But I'm down with the trade.

It's a good depth trade for the playoffs, and they didn't give up anything major. But yeah, the Leafs probably should give him the ol' soap-in-the-pillow case group beatdown like in Full Metal Jacket the first night on the road.

What a waste of syrup...

What's she saying there? It looks to me like Zezel, I want you to nut right here.

Fair trade. Seemed inevitable that one of the 2nds would be traded.

I'm sure a handful of other players were inquired on. Brassard, Letestu, Glendenning maybe JT Miller, Vermette, Deshernais, Pageau or Derek Ryan. Plekanec seems like a better cost/fit balance than most realistic opportunities to shore up the C.

True. True.

What a (frank)ing waste of a 2nd round pick.

JVR and Bozak should be worth a fortune at this rate.

Oh (frank) off.

50% retained is interesting too. Could be as simple good business practice to stay flexible, or wherever else he would've gone he would likely have had salary retained so he carried a 2nd round value regardless.

Or does McDonagh come tomorrow? Or Faulk?

I'm hoping this will create a bunch of tortured closet Plek fans who won't dare say they like him if he plays well. Kinda like the political opposition...or UggieNuts.

If we get more for Bozak than we paid for Plekanec... Lou is still ok

Pretty lucky to get that call, usually it goes the other way. Played great in the 2nd period, they need to play like that if they want any hope of winning a series in the playoffs. Bruins are loading up though and Tampa Bay isn't done yet. Playoffs are a different animal.

No, (frank) Plekanec. You going to go buy a turtleneck now?

(frank)ing Robert Reichel 2.0.

Rick Nash is loading up? Mr. On pace for 38 points?

Wonder if we can move Moore for anything.

Jets need a depth center and Letestu and now Plec are off the market.

- Zezel

He hates this team so much, no matter what they do he will just criticize them. He should just stick to his ALMIGHTY-CAN-NEVER-BE-BEATEN Bruins.

A sales rep I deal with tells me he is going to be Faulks future father in law.

Justin should run for the hills - this guy is a piece of work.

Plekanec isn't much further behind Nash in points and the guy can kill penalties.

Two-way winger who can score goals. He fits their system. They might not be done buying yet either.
