Toronto Maple Leafs forward Max Pacioretty will be turning 37 next season, and after numerous injuries, he must make a very difficult decision about his career.
Max Pacioretty was highly effective for the Toronto Maple Leafs in the playoffs as he registered three goals and eight points in 11 games.
In the regular season, he was plagued with injuries, which led to questions about the viability of the forward's career and whether or not he would be able to continue playing.
At the end of the season, Pacioretty himself admitted that this was a hard year for him and his family. It led to even more speculation that he would retire.
Is Max Pacioretty staying in Toronto?
Now, a new report from James Mirtle is all but sealing Pacioretty's fate in Toronto, but not in the way you would assume.
As Mirtle reports, the veteran forward would like to return to the Leafs, and as it stands, the feeling is mutual. Simply put, this is great news for the franchise.
Max Pacioretty is leaning toward a return after the Leafs expressed considerable interest in keeping him following a terrific postseason.
Elsewhere in his report, Mirtle unveiled that the Toronto Maple Leafs and Matthew Knies are getting closer and closer on a new deal, which is very good news for fans everywhere.
And the Leafs remain confident they will get Matthew Knies inked to a reasonable second contract without any offer-sheet drama.
Lastly, the biggest revelation of the piece was the fact that Mitch Marner was going to be part of a three-team trade at the trade deadline, but it was axed.
The teams involved were the Carolina Hurricanes and the Las Vegas Golden Knights, who are in the running to sign Marner this offseason.
