Jason Spezza's tenure with the Toronto Maple Leafs set a precedent for signing veteran players on low-cost deals. Max Pacioretty, coming off a trial contract, showed value by scoring five goals and 13 points and playing an impactful role in the playoffs. Despite being older, Pacioretty's experience could be vital for the Maple Leafs amidst roster changes after Mitch Marner's departure. There is a forward logjam, but Pacioretty can still join the team through a professional try-out.
Max Pacioretty, at age 36, scored five goals and 13 points in 37 games, and during the playoffs, he was able to put the team on his back.
The Maple Leafs should find a way to bring Pacioretty back, as the team could benefit from his experience amid substantial turnover.
