You know things are bad when your captain is on the trade block. Losers of four straight, the Habs continue to struggle to score goals. They could get a decent return for Max Pacioretty, who has a favorable contract at $4.5M until the end of next season. The question is if they can find a partner willing to part with the right assets to get a deal done. It may be safe to say GM Marc Bergevin is on thin ice. No pun intended. Well, maybe.
