Another poor move by the Habs.

I think they overpaid to get Plekanec back. $4 mil cap hit would be fair enough. Poor move.

Overpaid for him, but most players these days are overpaid … He was their leading scoring during the regular season, but struggled down the stretch.
0 goals, 4 assists in his final 13 regular season games
11 points (4 goals and 7 assists) in 19 playoff games

Way over paid.

He was terrible when it counted, and had a career year in a contract year. Why did they need to give him so many years?
I wonder where they will be trying to trade him in 2011.

Way over paid… let him go… Not that I am in disagreement but just who would you guys have in mind for the second center?
