2015-16 Montreal Canadiens Season Preview: Max Pacioretty

Max Pacioretty has been a mainstay on the Montreal Canadiens since he was called up midway through the 2010-2011 season. Since that time, Pacioretty has established himself as one of the premier even-strength goal scorers in the NHL. Over the past couple of seasons, Pacioretty has also developed into a solid penalty killer who uses his speed and shot to create scoring chances while short-handed.

There's no doubt about it, Pacioretty is by far the most dangerous forward on the Canadiens' roster. He has speed, size, vision, and an absolutely ridiculous shot. All of these traits make him a near perfect top-line winger, and his performance in that role over the last few years has been admirable to say the least.
