Tomas Plekanec back with the Canadiens?

Paul Byron and Sylvain Favreau have been mentioned as potential replacements for Jean-François Houle at the club's AHL affiliate, but a new interesting option has emerged.

The recent successes of the Czech team at the World Championship, particularly their 1-0 victory against the United States in the quarterfinals, have caught attention.

Some are wondering if Tomas Plekanec, currently an assistant coach for the Czech team, could be considered for a coaching position with the Canadiens.

Despite his lack of coaching experience, several experts believe in his potential due to his deep understanding of the game.

With the departure of Rocket assistant coach Kelly Buchberger and the uncertain future of Jean-François Houle, Plekanec could be a viable option for Kent Hughes.

He could start in the AHL before eventually joining the main club.

Plekanec, 41, has accumulated 233 goals and 375 assists in 1,001 NHL games and is recognized as one of the most complete players to have worn the Canadiens' uniform.
