The Toronto Maple Leafs would be acquiring a top-six forward that can help them out offensively.
On the other hand the Boston Bruins would get the Toronto Maple Leafs other top prospect in Easton Cowan, as they just got one of their top prospects in Fraser Minten during the NHL trade deadline.
The Toronto Maple Leafs have been linked to Zacha throughout the off-season, and there is a good chance this deal could happen before the beginning of the new year.
«When looking through their roster, Pavel Zacha seems like the most realistic fit. He is currently in the third year of a four-year deal carrying a cap hit of $4.75 million,» Giuliano wrote. «Zacha has played top-six minutes for Boston as a centre, and I could see him being available at the deadline if they have another rough year. The 28-year-old played all 82 games last season, recording 14 goals and 33 assists for 47 points.
«While I don't think he's better than Tavares as a second-line center, he can play the wing, which would add more versatility to the lineup, which is always a good thing,» Giuliano added. «The options in Boston are slim, but we've seen Treliving make deals with Bruins general manager Don Sweeney before.»
