No Extension Talks Between Max Pacioretty, Montreal Canadiens

August 28, 2018 at 11:15 am CDT | by Gavin Lee 2 Comments

11:15am: Pacioretty’s new agent Allan Walsh went on record explaining the situation in a tweet, saying that while there have been discussions between the Canadiens and Pacioretty over the last two months, there have been no negotiations at all on a new contract or any offers from the team. Pacioretty wants to sign a new contract according to Walsh, but nothing has materialized so far.

9:00am: All offseason there have been rumors and speculation surrounding Max Pacioretty and the Montreal Canadiens, including reports that a trade had been close to being finalized at one point. At Pacioretty’s charity golf tournament today, GM Marc Bergevin was asked about whether or not he expects his captain to be in training camp when it opens in a few weeks. “Of course, just like any other player” is the answer he gave to Arpon Basu of The Athletic, indicating that nothing has changed with Pacioretty’s status as a part of the Canadiens.

Obviously it would be difficult for Bergevin to say anything else, especially during an event like this, but things have certainly quieted down recently in regards to Pacioretty’s future. The 29-year old winger himself confirmed to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports that there has been no extension talks with the team, meaning there will likely be a decision at some point whether to cash in and get whatever they can for him. The market for scoring wingers was set this summer with the recent trade of Jeff Skinner, and may not be exactly what the Canadiens are willing to accept to trade their captain, even as he enters the final year of his current contract.

Montreal is dealing with several injuries that could leak into the start of the season, but do have a chance to be better than expected if Carey Price can return to form and some of the younger players step up. If Bergevin believes his squad can compete for a playoff spot, trading Pacioretty may not happen for some time. If they’re out of the race by the trade deadline though, expect him to be one of the top names available given that he has no trade protection in his contract and carries just a $4.5MM cap hit.
