Former New York Rangers divisional rival veteran to join unexpected Canadian team.
It was reported that former Washington Capitals veteran, Max Pacioretty who is currently still an unrestricted free agent, is to sign with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
"The 35-year-old forward has had three adrift seasons thanks to two Achilles tendon injuries to the same leg. He was healthy the back half of last season for the Capitals but scored four goals in 47 games: not ideal if you're known as a scorer. He's healthy now, though, and has some suitors - the Leafs and Red Wings are reportedly both interested in adding the one-time Canadiens captain."
NHL insider, David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period even stated on X that if the Maple Leafs do decide to sign Pacioretty, it will be a standard contract for the 2024-25 season, and NOT a professional tryout (PTO).
"Hearing same re Leafs/Pacioretty. This would be a SPC, not a PTO, if they agree to terms." Pagnotta said.
The 35-year old veteran, played 47 games last season with the Washington Capitals and managed to tally 4 goals and 19 assists for a total of 23 points.
