We have an update regarding a Montreal Canadiens fan favorite and his future within the organization.

Believe it or not, it's already just over a month away until Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton will have some major decisions to make regarding certain pending unrestricted free agents.
This includes names like Christian Dvorak, Joel Armia, and Michael Pezzetta.
While the door may still be open for the first two, all signs point to it being over for Pezzetta.
At least, that's the rumor currently circulating in Montreal.

It Appears to Be Over for Michael Pezzetta with the Montreal Canadiens

According to journalist Marc Dumont, Canadiens management reportedly has no intention of offering Pezzetta a new contract, as he has seemingly fallen out of favor with the organization.
"With all due respect to Pezzetta, he'd be better off trying to find a contract with a new team, one that might give him more opportunities to play in the NHL, because it's clear that the former Sudbury Wolves forward is no longer valued by Canadiens management."

- Marc Dumont

Pezzetta, who has always held a special place in the hearts of Habs fans thanks to his grit and energy, and who has long been a fan favorite, now seems to have played his last game in a Canadiens uniform.
We recommend checking out the full article from Montreal Hockey Now, but it certainly seems like this is the end for Pezzetta.
What do you think - would it be a mistake for Kent Hughes to let Michael Pezzetta walk?
