I just wish he could have had his 1000th game in a Habs jersey but it just wasn't meant to be.

 

[A Loyal Dog]

He's still amazing defensively, and I'm sure Toronto will make great use of him. Tis the end of an era. Thank you Pleky, you and your turtlenec will be missed.

 

[Rosso Scuderia]

He's been good for us but was underappreciated most of the time. Shame that his offensive game declined so drastically. Still a great defensive C.

7 times 20 goals+ seasons
1 X 70 pts season and 3 60 pts+ seasons as a two-ways center. We won't see that anytime soon.

Always does little something when a long time Hab, drafted and developed by the team leaves. He was a great professional.

 

[Hope Of Glory]

Thanks for everything Tomas.

Hopefully we can bring him back this summer as a cheap #3-4C so he can play his 1000th game with us. Especially if we keep tanking, he'd be a great mentor for the kids and his decline wouldn't matter too much.

 

[Habs100]

Loved him.

 

[GREMLIN]

Thank you Pleky.

 

[Thebesthockey]

good pick up for toronto

for basically nothing in return

 

[sampollock]

plecs, you were a warrior, now you are the enemy...lol

how he does well there.

 

[Seb]

He has been an awesome Habs, loved him. Going to suck seeing him with a Leafs jersey.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

I stopped appreciating this guy around 2015, but he was a great player for us for nearly a decade.

It’s a real shame we couldn’t do a better job sheltering him at C because he could have been lethal as a 2C during his prime.

 

[Et le But]

All things considered will probably go down as a criminally underrated Hab. There's a reason every coach loved him.

Sucks he couldn't get 1000 games as a Hab but it's nice actually getting some value for a past it player for once.

 

[nhlfan9191]

Last 2-3 seasons were brutal but he was a very underrated player when he was in his prime and very good for us. Best of luck to him and his turtle neck.

 

[BlackStar]

Plekanec was absolutely massive for this team for years. He was a fantastic top-6 two-way defensemen, and in a couple seasons, he performed like a number 1 center. It's disappointing that it's come to this point.

 

[CHfan1]

He was the last Hab to hit 70 points, which is the most of any Hab in the last 10 seasons.

 

[uiCk]

Au revoir.

Pleks was a solid soldier for years for us.

 

[OldCraig71]

He earned close to 50 million bucks wearing a habs jersey, wow. Good luck in Toronto Plekasex.

 

[llamateizer]

My favorite player since many years.

 

[Adam Michaels]

 

[Tuggy]

Good luck to him and he's been a good soldier for us.

 

[vokiel]

We'll see you back next season. I'm pretty sure the clown suits in the front office couldn't find a center if one knocked on their door. At least they already know you.

 

[HabsFan76]

It will be strange seeing him in a Leafs jersey but it was time to move him while he still had decent value. I'll always remember him for his productivity even when he had the likes of Darche and Ryan White on his wings.

 

[lo striver]

Retire his turtleneck

 

[Phil Parent]

Could have been the best third line C in the league. We didn't have the depth so he played top 6.

He was very solid defensively and on faceoffs. Nice peak offensively.

 

[Paddyjack]

I wish you good luck Pleky. I was not a great fan of your offense creativity but I highly respected your 2-way forward skills
