Earlier this week, the Carolina Hurricanes took many people by surprise with a major announcement.
Their big acquisition of the summer, forward Max Pacioretty, will be out for a very long time (a minimum of six months).
"Max Pacioretty will undergo surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon tomorrow in Raleigh. His expected recovery time is six months." - Carolina Hurricanes
Pacioretty hasn't really shown any signs of slowing down so far (when he's on the ice), but he's definitely getting injured more often and it seems to be becoming a problem for the 33-year-old.
In 2021-2022, Pacioretty was notably limited to 39 games (out of 82).
Let's remember of course that Max Pacioretty was acquired by the Hurricanes, last July 13, for future considerations.

While this organization was in search of a productive forward, they find themselves with a hefty contract to place on the long-term injured list (and a new need to fill in their top 6).
"Waddell tells 99.9 FM The Fan, teams have been calling (for a trade) since the Pacioretty news broke. He effectively says he won't do what the Bolts did with Kucherov."

Really interesting! So Waddell is already getting trade offers for Pacioretty (from teams that want to put him on their LTIR) and he certainly seems to be considering the idea of making a deal.
Waddell did confirm later that he has been contacted by numerous teams about the former Montreal Canadiens captain. So he really could trade Pacioretty again.
The latter would have played a grand total of ZERO games with the Carolina Hurricanes. A file to watch!
