A-K-46 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Personally i would have to pick Jordan Staal he doesnt have a huge cap hit,like marleau, he is a great 2 way player, he has size,he has skill,and most importantly the kid can score,wether it be shorthanded or 5 on 5. If not staal then it would have to be sharp followed by kessle and lastly marleau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PK-Guelph Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I vote Plekanec only because I think Kessel and Staal will be too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Future-is-coming Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Pleks, I can't see BG signing anyone else too major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1IscottieI1I Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I always wanted Jordan Staal to be one of our top 2 centers. The guys got size and hes Canadian. I voted for him and I think I would do this for lines AndreiK - Gomez - Gionta Sergeik - Staal - Cammalleri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy-piton Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 marleau has too big contract, kessel is too hard to get, staal even harder, sharp isn't big improvement... ... so i voted plekanec. maybe not the best option, but certainly the most realistic one.

Bastian_mtl Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Staal, for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habcup Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 I voted Plek because it is more realistic. But Staal would be a nice 2nd centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAB1992 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 According to TSN, Pleks signs for 1 year at 2.75$ million. Unless we trade him in a package deal(which I don't see happening as he signed only a one year contract) there is our 2nd line centre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-K-46 Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 ye i heard but it is still possible he could be in a deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicalhab Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Plekanec makes the most sense. He's already signed fairly cheap, has proven he can put up 60 plus points and score 20 plus goals, has good speed and defensive upsides. Marleau is just a ridiculous idea. Please no. I would like Patrick Sharp, but I don't think there's really a need now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habs1119 Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 With Gomez as our #1 we can't really afford another large contract right now...maybe a deadline deal as Marleau would be a rental. But the best choice right now is Pleks. He is very capable offensively. If used properly is a very good 2 way Centre. He only has a one year deal so it's really his time to shine and show Gainey how valuable he really is. If he has another season like 07-08 his pay will jump to 3.5 for 4-5 years. So it's in his best interest. Otherwise, you could make a package trade to Chicago for a larger bodied Centreman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
french-connection_mtl Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Brassard is my choice, cheap and tons of skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

357908_1475251331 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 i'd rather sign axelsson than stewart and dags, if it meant not playing pleks at center, but who's dreaming now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdn1944 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Plekanec He is our most realistic option at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafs_rock_go_mccabe Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Best option, or most realistic option? The best option wouldn't be Plekanec, but Plekanec is going to the be the guy whether we like it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-Future-is-coming Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Kessel, IMO, is the most skilled from that list. I'd love to have any of them. but Pleks seems like the only option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go_leafs_go11 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Plekanec is the best option. Give the guy a chance! He's consistent 20 goal scorer, effective penalty killer and good 2 way presence. He is an ideal second line center. 2.75 is cheap for a top 6 forward.

koreysecord1992 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 At this point, Plekanec. For the future? Your guess is as good as mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blaines1 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Stars Might Trade Brad Richards thread was moved so I'll post here, I don't understand why people think this would be a bad move? Two years left at 7.8 million for a proven winner and cup MVP. I would trade Halak, Hammer and Pleks or Metro in a second to aquire the bigger center we have been looking for. 7.8 is bad but is it really that bad?
