The Montreal Canadiens will be facing the Philadelphia Flyers for the third time in as many weeks on February 26th. By then, the overall belief is that Tomas Plekanec and Max Pacioretty will no longer be on the team. That belief is more on the Plekanec side considering he’s a UFA and the Habs should try to get something for him. Of course, trades are a two-way street, and it’ll depend on whether another team wants the veteran, but there are aspects of his game that could be valued in a playoff run.
Pacioretty, in my opinion, still isn’t a guarantee.
