ANALYSIS
Plekanec scored a goal and two points in nine contests with Kladno of the Czech League this season before deciding to retire.

At his height in 2009-10, Plekanec scored 25 goals and 70 points in 82 outings. He also appeared in 94 career playoff contests, scoring 18 goals and 53 points in that span.

Plekanec is back in the city he loves after a brief, goatee-less stint with the Leafs late last season. The goatee is back, but the fantasy value is long gone. Plekanec tallied 28 and 26 points in his last two seasons after averaging 52 over the previous three. As a 35-year-old, his offense is unlikely to return, especially given his status as the Habs' fourth-line center. Expect 25-30 points and effective penalty killing, but look elsewhere for fantasy help.
