Treliving revealed the Leafs brought Pacioretty to Toronto about a month ago to undergo a medical exam.

"He feels that he's had a couple of years here, two and a half years, where he really hasn't had an opportunity to train," Treliving noted. "It's been rehabbing. He came back last year and jumped in sort of halfway through the season and at the end of the year felt he wasn't where he wanted to be physically."
A full summer of training and not just rehabbing makes Pacioretty a prime candidate for a bounce-back season, Treliving believes.

"Sometimes we want to write everybody off once they hit 30," Treliving, 55, said with a chuckle. "I must have been written off a long time ago. But we'll see. The encouraging thing with Max is he keeps himself in really good condition. He's had time to heal. Those are significant injuries that he's gone through and he's put a lot of time into getting himself healthy."
