Several former NHL players turn to administrative positions in the hockey world after their retirement.<\/p>\n
This is the case for former Montreal Canadiens player Tomas Plekanec, who is currently the sporting director of Rytiri Kladno.<\/p>\n
The Czech is therefore responsible for building the lineup of his good friend Jaromir Jagr’s team.<\/p>\n
“You can never say never”, said the man in question, keeping an open mind.<\/p>\n
“I’ll think about it if the opportunity presents itself.”<\/p>\n
– Tomas Plekanec<\/p>\n
Tomas Plekanec: an underestimated leader by many<\/p>\n
Looking at how they manage the organization, it’s clear that Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton will analyze the matter from every angle.<\/p>\n
It’s exactly their style to appoint former players to strategic roles within the organization.<\/p>\n
It’s also a bonus if they are former players of the organization.<\/p>\n
We only need to think of Paul Byron, who now works as a consultant with the team.<\/p>\n
Not to mention Francis Bouillon, who has kept his role in player development under this new era.<\/p>\n
The addition of a Tomas Plekanec, who is learning the trade of club management, would therefore not be negligible.<\/p>\n
His experience with 984 games in the blue, white, and red uniform could certainly help many.<\/p>\n
The former number 14 of the club was an important piece of the early 2000s for the Canadiens.<\/p>\n
He wasn’t always valued at his true worth by the fans but was always highly respected by his teammates.<\/p>\n
If I were Hughes or Gorton, I would, without hesitation, give Kladno a call to see what could be done!<\/p>\n
