Gionta once was a great battler in the playoffs but age and those bicep injuries ruined his once deadly shooting. And he's a UFA so it's easy to let him walk. Plekanec, when has he ever shown the kind of clutchness and fortitude Gionta has shown in the playoffs? It's trickier with him cause he's not a FA and provides good goal scoring, faceoff and PK ability. But it's a logjam at centre and Galchenyuk has to be developed down the middle IMO. Pleks could be the odd man out cause I doubt they trade DD (unless it's for another Quebec product) or Eller (cause he'd be the two-way C version of McDonagh coming back to haunt us I'm sure).
