First of all, let's commend the former Canadiens captain, who suffered two Achilles injuries and never gave up.
It's not too surprising, given that he showed a lot of courage in his early years after his violent collision with Zdeno Chara.
As for his career plans, according to insider David Pagnotta, Max Pacioretty is set to sign a contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Canadiens' rival.
So it would be a regular NHL contract, not a professional tryout. This is very good news for Max. It confirms that teams still believe in him.
We know Max's scoring and leadership qualities, and his arrival in Toronto could be very beneficial for this group of players. Even though it's the Canadiens' rival, I would be very happy for him to sign there.
