They were waiver guys. They're getting to the point where they need to make the nhl and there is no room here. They didn't lose anything really.

No doubt. I don't have that big an issue with spending to improve. I have an issue with what the assets were spent on.

Either way, a second round pick is nothing to get bothered about.

- Leafs43



i hear you there but these assets werent going to get much.

i dont even like plekanec and i like this deal.

a team of all 4th line C would still be better than the Sens

And there it is. The Lou move nobody sees coming. Montreal.

Plecky is a good acquisition and Baun sounds like a solid prospect.

Montreal gets some needed youth. Valiev will get a chance as will Rychel there.

Have to figure Bozak may be moved. I doubt Moore goes anywhere. Plecky wasnt acquired as a fourth line and Bozak isnt an energy type.

Bruins sign gionta

Garf was hoping he'd sign with the Sabres so that they could trade him and get assets for him.

exactly. so they could afford to trade some to improve the team. at some point you have to stop hoarding and try to win.

Plekanec is one of the best defensive centres in the league, if the “the” best. He has not lost a step when it comes to speed.

Toronto can play him against the oppositions top line and he will do his job. Shut them down. Then unleash Matthews or kadri against weaker lines.. the price was high but that’s a huge trade for Toronto. Huge

Well hopefully he won't lose his man like Kadri did a couple of times last night, oh and that JVR play on the third goal, you can just see where his caresi is.

well we have a ton of prospects and a ton of youth in the ahl and nhl level. plus another 2nd. nothing to be up in arms about. trading picks is never popular i suppose but amount to f all.

if we werent already a young team on the rise with one of the brightest futures, yea id be pissed over trading a 2nd for pleks. but its not 2015 anymore.

But he’s a pending UFA. Leafs should trade all of them, because we can’t beat Tampa or Boston.
