chris.brock Posted May 26, 2018 Report Posted May 26, 2018 Plekanec wants to go back to Montreal https://www.nhl.com/news/tomas-plekanec-would-like-return-to-montreal/c-298795058 I don't care where he goes, as long as he goes away. Does anyone have an inside scoop on why the Leafs went after him? was it Lamoriello's dumb idea?

mikeh Posted May 26, 2018 Report Posted May 26, 2018 the Toronto Marlies are going to the Calder Cup Finals in the playoffs, I think a couple players down there deserve a promotion to the Leafs,

Plekanec probably had a deal with Montreal....go to TO and do nothing more than get paid and we'll bring you back. If so, he held up his end of the bargain.
chris.brock Posted June 6, 2018 Report Posted June 6, 2018 It looks like the Leafs are going to have to pony up. It's a shame everything is so money related. I don't blame AM but I'm not really loving him right now either. https://www.nhl.com/news/auston-matthews-changes-agents-joins-group-that-represents-mcdavid-report/c-298952400

All I ask is he plays as good as McDavid. Unless he does that, he's not worth the same money, plain and simple. That little disappearing act he pulled in this years' playoffs suggests he not at McDavid's level...at least not yet. Maybe after he's a year or two older, that consistency will come. Who knows? But I come from an age of employment where FIRST you demonstrate job performance THEN the money follows. Obviously not an apples to apples comparison when talking about the NHL. Here they throw mountains of money are you and pray (gamble) you work out or else it cripples the org for a decade, or two...or three. lol

If you are the leafs, you do your absolutel damndest to sign him now while there is "uncertainty" about his health/longevity and the fact that he hasnt scored 50 goals in a season yet. Lock him up immediately at a discount, because he could end up scoring 50 this year and putting up 100+ pts. I have a feeling AM doesnt want to sign because he knows he can put up stupid numbers this year, and when he does his payday will increase substantially.
muskymatt Posted June 6, 2018 Report Posted June 6, 2018 AM is good but not McDavid good. I just don't see this ending well for the laffs. Spoiled American kid, unproven so far, injuries, doesn't get along with coach, wants to play more than he's earned and wants top dollar. You could sense the displeasure in his body language.

Anyone with less than at least 3 full 82 game seasons is unproven. AM has proven he is a suck, gets injured easily and sulks when he doesn't get his own way. All said, with those traits he should fit in well in laffland if they will overpay for him!

He did have a solid post season and put up great numbers. I'm not an OV fan though and I was hoping he would fail again. He crossed the red line in the pregame warm up and tapped Fleury's pads, not cool, typical OV sideshow stuff, deserving of a beating that doesn't happen anymore in the new NHL. BRING ON OCTOBER HOCKEY BABY! GO LEAFS! Edited June 8, 2018 by chris.brock

If I was betting on a long shot it would be the Isles, if they could find a goalie they might be a different team next season.
