Katya: My absolute first response, is wow, that was boring.
Second take: I would rather the Leafs had solved their centre depth problem not just kicked the problem down the road, but I’m prepared to enjoy Plekanec as soon as I get used to how the Anglo announcers say his name, since I used to always watch Habs games in French.
Longer view: It takes guts to do nothing. Dallas, interestingly, made no moves, and they’re in the playoffs but not really top of the pile either. It’s different for Pittsburgh who spent like drunken sailors on Brassard or even Tampa who made a good deal.
