Remembering a Former Golden Knight: Max Pacioretty
Max Pacioretty's time with the Vegas Golden Knights was... interesting. What did the former Montreal Canadien contribute to Vegas?
When the Vegas Golden Knights acquired Max Pacioretty from the Montreal Canadiens, the expectation was to bolster the offense. The Golden Knights had scoring depth, yet nobody stood out as a go-to scorer.
