Plekanec has been the Habs best player all season. There is no indication that Pleks wants to leave Montreal and will not resign so why on earth would the Habs deal him off. Makes no sense.
At the end of the day though, Plecanek doesn't habe half the skill of Jeff Carter. Carter is a guy you can build around. T.P. has never looked like a dominate leader nor a pure sniper like Carter. Carter could use to get out of that wreck.
Pleks is also an RFA, and if negotiations aren't going well, Gainey could use that agianst Pleks and obtain a kid who scored 46 goals in his early 20's.
carter for halak + pleks kind of makes sense #'s wise as well as the fact that Pleks might not sign in MTL or PHI and Gainey gets a year and a half of Jeff Carter. a Pure #1 C as well.
