I'm a big fan of what Pleks is bringing. The 4th line is now a safe zone for the first time in a while, instead of heart attack central. Suddenly the 4th line isn't spending any time hemmed in it's own zone.
I don't know why people only focus on the points, he wasn't brought into score points. I think he'll score some eventually but he was brought into make the 4th line into a defensive line to reduce the pressure on Kadri and to a lesser extent Matthews.
Assuming we face Boston in the first round, Kadri and Plekanec will be doing the lionshare of defensive play against Bergeron's line is my guess.
