Montreal Canadiens: What a career year from Max Pacioretty could do

As the days go by without a resolution to the ‘struggle’ between the Montreal Canadiens and Max Pacioretty, more information continues to get spread.

It’s been an interesting situation for both camps as it wouldn’t only be about trading the player (assuming that is the confirmed route). Pacioretty is an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, and that fact may make the receiving team reluctant to want to give up what Marc Bergevin wants. Everything could change once the trade deadline approaches and general managers start to get desperate to add talent ahead of the playoffs.
