Truly very well said.
If Koivu played for any other team than the Habs, he would get a far better shake. During the worst period in Habs history, he did score .8 points a game. Is that superstar calibre, no, but in this day and age it is highly productive and of star calibre. What made him a superstar in Montreal went beyond the score sheet.
At $3.25 million, I'd rather see Koivu as the #2 centre, the captain, and then have Plekanec (who I think is a great player) as our 3rd liner though with Gomez and Koivu on hand he would like be expendable, especially since Lapierre has really shown what he can do.
The Ducks got themselves a a great second line centre at a great value.
