In a proactive move by the Montreal Canadiens, they have given Max Pacioretty a 6-year, $27 million extension. You know by now that he was on the receiving end of a Zdeno Chara ride into the stanchion in the 2010-11 season. This past season, he recovered to become a 30-goal scorer, something that only teammate Erik Cole did in Montreal. Coincidentally, both are American born, and both were the beneficiary of good center play of David Desharnais. The extension locks up a rising talent in Pacioretty, and with Carey Price also locked up for a few years, the Canadiens now focus on PK Subban, who is unsigned.
