Tomas Plekanec’s return could provoke a juggling act
There was little surprise when Marc Bergevin and the Montreal Canadiens announced that they came to terms with centre Tomas Plekanec.
This possibility was something that was mentioned as soon as he was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs, and its likelihood just continued to ramp up as July 1 approached.
The one-year contract at a cap hit of $2.25M is a very reasonable contract, and does not carry the weight of his previous contract’s cap hit. It will also mean that Plekanec will play his 1,000th NHL game as a member of the team he started with, which is a fantastic milestone.
