The Montreal Canadiens are moving on from their 29 year old captain. Habs GM, Marc Bergevin will not be offering a contract extension to Max Pacioretty, making him a UFA next summer.
Moving Patches
At the NHL draft it was believed that Pacioretty was traded to L.A. but the deal fell through due to the inability of getting an extension worked out. The thought around many hockey circles is that the Connecticut native would like to stay in the Eastern Conference.
Pacioretty grew up as a Rangers fan and one of his fondest memories was playing on the Garden ice as a kid.
