Bob McKenzie would be “really surprised” if the Canadiens traded Max Pacioretty
The TSN insider did give an important caveat
The NHL Trade Deadline is at 3:00 p.m. Eastern on Monday, and despite increased rumblings, TSN Insider Bob McKenzie doesn't think the Montreal Canadiens will trade captain Max Pacioretty.

Obviously, one phone call, like McKenzie said, can change that. It should be noted that most of the rumblings that Pacioretty would be traded were by TSN's rival, Sportsnet making it an interesting dynamic between the two networks.
The Los Angeles Kings and Minnesota Wild have been two teams linked to the Habs captain leading up to the deadline.
