Max Pacioretty's name has been linked to Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens
As we reported earlier this season, the last few years have been difficult, injury-wise, for former Montreal Canadiens captain Max Pacioretty.
In January, Pacioretty suffered a new Achilles tendon tear, which put an end (very prematurely) to his 2022-23 season.
He played 5 games this season for the Carolina Hurricanes (3 goals scored) and 39 games last season (19 goals scored), for a total of 40 points in 44 games.
In short, this summer, Pacioretty will be free as a bird.
His contract is ending and he will be an unrestricted free agent.
Pacioretty back with the Montreal Canadiens?
In a recent article, former Montreal Canadiens employee Marc Dumont revealed the names of two players that could be of interest to Kent Hughes this summer when the free agent market opens: Alex DeBrincat and Max Pacioretty.
He believes the Habs could benefit from another goal scorer, at a lower cost, especially if a guy like Josh Anderson is traded at a high price in the 2023 draft.
If Pacioretty is healthy and willing to sign a cheap contract, do you think, like Dumont, that he could help the Montreal Canadiens next year?
Would you sign Pacioretty, for two or three years, at 2 or 3 million per season?
Do you think he would like to finish his career in the uniform of the team that drafted him in 2007, 16 years ago?
An interesting idea to keep in mind.
