Donated by the Golden Knights to the Hurricanes last summer, the former Canadiens captain played just five games with the Hurricanes last season, suffering two serious achilles injuries. Despite this, Max Pacioretty looks set for a return to action and has convinced the Washington Capitals to offer him a contract. It's a one-season contract worth $2 million, with the possibility of another $2 million depending on his performance and the number of games he plays. It's a golden opportunity for him to play with the all-time leading scorer, as well as proving that he's fully recovered from his injury. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/frank_seravalli/status/1675195409168203778'> </a></blockquote></div>
