Really Price I totally get but Pleks????
- captaingio

Pleks is like Simmonds...He needs another team to set him free to be the best he can be...

Giguere no longer in the running.
- Apples

I think it will be Bergevin.

For me, it all starts when McGuire trades Price to Philly for Bryz, Carle, and a 1st...
- Flyfreaky

Well if he was smart he would start by trading Price... I really don't think he want to play here ... I guess the lenght of his next contract will be very telling.... not only that but by keeping Price he could possible single handly jepordize our future lotery picks

Yes they can. Whoever we draft will not be NHL ready. If DD can consistently keep putting up 60 points than he is worth keeping, no?

Move someone to the wing and call it a day.
- Apples

No.

If we get Yakupov or Murray, yes. But I expect those two to be gone by our pick. Is Galchenyuk ready after missing a whole development year due to a major injury?

I'm not sure about Grigorenko/Forsberg either.

I think it will be Bergevin.
- stinger67

Me too.

Looking at this team as an outsider, I'd only trade for Price and Pleks...The other players are just filler...
- Flyfreaky

Yeah, who needs big guys who score 30+ goals.

Even DD said so on l'antichambre, he almost went on record saying that his wingers were poop all year long

He said that the number 1 target this offseason, in the UFA market, is a winger for Plek.
- QuebecPride

And rightfully so.

Give him some good wingers and Plekanec can put up 70 pts every season. He has to do all the defensive work with poopty wingers and that means less opportunities to score goals.

He has to work on his breakaway goals though. He has to have a league record for shorthanded breakaways.

Really Price I totally get but Pleks????

Plekanec is a bad player?

Also guys, don't forget Blair Mackasey.

Not sure he'll be the GM but rumors had him the next guy in charge of player development, to let Timmins do his magic at the draft.

Apparently the Leafs don't...

who are you?

no... I think he is declining fast though and has no heart...

I think Eller could replace him on the PK.

Add Leblanc, Bourque, White, Dumont and Moen and you might not need Plek on PK.

Who needs heart when you can have Hart?

No.

If we get Yakupov or Murray, yes. But I expect those two to be gone by our pick. Is Galchenyuk ready after missing a whole development year due to a major injury?

I'm not sure about Grigorenko/Forsberg either.
- QuebecPride

Are you agreeing with my point or disagreeing?

I said whoever we draft will not be NHL ready next season. Only Yakupov and Murray, like you said, might be ready.

smart way to rebuild, by trading your best young player.

Good candidate.

This is the trap you should avoid.

Especially if you move him to Philly...
