Tomas Plekanec played most of his NHL career with the Montreal Canadiens, where he played 15 seasons and 984 of his 1,001 Games. While he was not a superstar, he did have 608 career Points, with six seasons scoring at least 50. Plekanec was a good two-way player and finished as high as seventh in Frank J. Selke in one year and received votes five other times. He played for the Habs until he was traded to Toronto in 2018, though he did come to Montreal for three Games in 2018-19.
After that brief return to Montreal, Plekanec returned to the Czech league until he retired in the 2022-23 Season.
The Hockey Hall of Fame is not likely to call his name, but he has an outside shot for the IIHF Hall of Fame, as he represented the Czech Republic in two Olympics, one World Cup and eleven World Championships.
