Former Habs captain Max Pacioretty could be on the verge of signing a new NHL contract per insider

Former Montreal Canadiens captain Max Pacioretty is still a free agent and actively seeking a contract for the upcoming NHL season.

According to recent developments, it has been revealed that Max Pacioretty continues to draw interest from within the NHL.

Although injuries have severely impacted his last few seasons, he remains a valuable player and, more importantly, an extraordinary teammate.

Max Pacioretty on the Verge of Signing a Contract? Frank Seravalli Has the Latest

According to a recent report by the well-known insider, the 35-year-old forward and former Montreal Canadiens player is currently attracting interest from at least three teams.

This is great news, and we are very happy for him.

Let's hope that this materializes for Max Pacioretty.

Is the Montreal Canadiens one of the interested teams? That's a good question, but it would be surprising since there doesn't seem to be any spots available in the Canadiens' top nine forwards at the moment.

Unless Josh Anderson is traded, it's hard to see how Martin St-Louis and Kent Hughes could find a spot for Pacioretty on the roster, even though he loves Montreal and frequently returns to the city.

What about you? Do you think Max Pacioretty will find a new team? Do you believe it will be a one-year contract or a professional tryout in his case?

At 35 years old, Pacioretty has tallied 63 points in his last 91 NHL games, including 23 points in 47 games last season.

The good news is that his most recent injury is now in the past, so there are reasons to believe he is in better shape than he has been in a long time.

This is a situation to watch, but we genuinely wish him the best!
