Some fans miffed, some meh. Concede to Steve Yzerman.

It wasn't like Lou didn't have any competition on TD this year. Politically, he had to do something. At the end of the day the price on getting a McDonaugh was high and Yzerman, one of the best GM's in hockey was willing to pay at a time Lou wasn't. So, for a second round pick he landed Plekanec a 35 year old C to play 4th line and perhaps higher, if an injury occurs. He is a straight rental player and to be honest didn't look that thrilled about coming here, despite what the media may claim. The odds makers will now clearly favour Tampa Bay should the Leafs meet them in the playoffs. There are now fans saying the Leafs are still building, still have organizational gaps and have blown two 2nd rounders on two 4th line Centers of little impact and we aren't about to win anyway. And that is very true but when Mike Babcock flips out and says " How the hell do you expect me to beat that Tampa Lineup!!!?" Face it, Lou had to do something so he conceded to Yzerman and Babcock. The price was quite moderate in that this is an average draft. The last time we had a 2nd in that range we took Jeremy Bracco but in a much stronger draft class. The Leafs kept the higher 2nd rounder from San Jose and still have all their picks, unlike Tampa and Boston. Nash may or may not help Boston but does it put them past Tampa Bay? Yzerman won this round because he is going for it all now.  Lou wins later in free agency and this summer. Toronto is now ready to river gamble and see what we have, as a complete underdog who isn't supposed to win this year anyway. Leaf fans will be happy to win one round, especially if it against Boston or even Washington.
