Mike Johnston of Sportsnet: After the Montreal Canadiens traded Max Pacioretty to the Vegas Golden Knights, GM Marc Bergevin said that Pacioretty “asked for a trade. I will not go into detail. But that’s a fact, yes.”
Before the Golden Knights game in Montreal, Pacioretty still denies that he did.
“I don’t agree with that,” Pacioretty said. “Heated conversations like that could get taken in different ways. I don’t believe that that’s what I said and I’ll just leave it at that.”
