Max Pacioretty was traded by the Vegas Golden Knights to the Carolina Hurricanes. Sources told ESPN that Dylan Coghlan and Max Pacioretty were moved to the Hurricanes. The last four seasons were spent with the Golden Knights. He spent the first 10 years of his career in Montreal and was traded to Vegas in 2019. The Golden Knights failed to make the playoffs for the first time due to an injury-plagued season in which Max Pacioretty scored 37 points. He had 97 goals and 97 assists. He has one more year left on his contract. Coghlan has played 88 games in the NHL over the last three seasons. The man had 19 points. He was a player with the Chicago Wolves. The Golden Knights saved $7.76 million. Reilly Smith needed to be given a contract extension because Vegas was over the salary cap. The Hurricanes need a veteran goal scorer in their lineup. He's the second significant veteran player they've added this week, having also traded for a San Jose Sharks defender.
