What can the Canadiens reasonably expect from Tomas Plekanec this year?

It’s been a roller coaster of a year for Tomas Plekanec. After entering a contract year last season, the long-time centre for the Montreal Canadiens struggled, like many others, to find the back of the net. While it was clear that over the course of the previous seasons his once steady offence was starting to decline, his other talents remained sharp. As the Canadiens’ season spiraled into disaster, it was the lifetime Montreal forward who headed to the rival Toronto Maple Leafs at the trade deadline, where he bounced around their bottom six through the regular season and playoffs.
