Max Pacioretty. Can you dig, Buffalo? According to a recent tweet from a local Sabres blog, Sportsnet’s Jeff Marek has stated that the Buffalo Sabres have veteran left wing Max Pacioretty in their sights.
The tenured Montreal Canadien has been as much a figurehead of the organization as goaltender Carey Price in recent years, and the $4.5 million forward is heading into an important season which will likely see him as a free agent in the end.
On first glance, Pacioretty might seem to be a poor pickup for Buffalo.
