Canadiens Sign Forward Max Pacioretty
July 17th 2008 22:15
The 19-year-old left-winger signed his first pro contract (three years) after spending only one year playing college hockey in the CCHA with the University of Michigan. Drafted 22nd overall in the 2007 draft by the Montreal Canadiens, Pacioretty is a 6'02'', 199 lbs power forward with good hands and a strong body. In 2008, he was named the CCHA's Rookie of the Year and is currently participating in his second development camp with the Canadiens where he was described as being "head and shoulders" above everyone else. In September, management will look if he's ready for the NHL when he'll attend training camp with the Habs. He'll most likely play his whole season in Hamilton unless there are some injuries in the big club.
