Pacioretty has played only three games with the team. During those games, I thought he looked great, but that isn’t really representative of what a whole season might look like. The possibility of further injury is also very real.

However, even while injured he constantly spoke highly of the team and living in Raleigh. He has been really involved with the Hurricanes and often has teammates over for events. I don’t think a team friendly deal is out of the question - and if we can get that, I think resigning Pacioretty is a no brainer.

What are y’all’s thoughts?
