Because of Max Pacioretty's trade to Vegas ... somebody else in Florida won't have to fear The Purge -- 'cause the NHL superstar just sold his safe-room mansion FOR $3.1 MIL!!!
Max used to play for the Canadians up in Montreal ... and obviously needed a snow escape -- so he took off to Boca Raton to catch rays on off days.
But, with his move to the Golden Knights this offseason ... no need for a sun house anymore -- so the winger punted the palace.
It's too bad ... 'cause Max couldn't have been more protected in the mansion -- it featured smart house technology, weather resistant roofing and a freakin' SAFE ROOM!
