The Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings were both reportedly in the mix for Montreal Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty, who ultimately wasn't traded, according to Sportsnet's Eric Engels.
Pacioretty was one of the more notable wingers still available Monday after Evander Kane was reportedly shipped to the San Jose Sharks.
Pacioretty is having a down year by his standards, with just 17 goals and 37 points in 61 games. The 29-year-old scored at least 30 goals in each of the previous four seasons.
He still has one year left on his contract after this year at a cap hit of $4.5 million.
