It would be nice if Pleks had some actual worthy wingers. Once again, he has to deal with a bunch of mediocre wingers rotating through his line... and it got a hell of a lot worse with Cammy and Akots traded and Gionta injuries.

People should be praising Pleks for what he has managed to do with the crap he has had to play with, rather than jumping all over the guy.

Put Pleks between Patches and Cole, see how well he produces and how well DD does. Not trying to poop on DD, just saying at some point, wingers need to be found for Pleks.

I agree the off-season priority is top-6 wingers for Pleks. Frankly, I don't think that's Gionta anymore, but I could live with him if we were able to sign a big genuine top-6 guy to play on the other side.

I don't think breaking up the Pac-DD-Cole line is the best idea, and we did see Pleks between the two big guys a little this season... granted, very little, but the few looks were not inspiring.

Well Ideally we'll be drafting 1 who's 1-2 years away. Not that that helps us next year, but you never know some people think Forsberg is ready to step into a fairly big NHL role right away. It's not like they stand to lose anything trying to develop some guys, no ones expecting a cup run next year.
