A new report has surfaced involving the Bruins trading Pavel Zacha to the Canucks, and we now know what the possible return could be.
Ever since the last season came to an end, the Canucks have been looking for a second-line center, and with them losing Filip Chytil to injury, this has amplified their need to find one.
Patrik Allvin, the general manager of the Canucks, has been looking at his options, but the team continues to be linked to Bruins center Pavel Zacha.
Recently, NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman issued a big update during a segment of Hockey Night in Canada on Saturday.
"Pavel Zacha and Vancouver. My buddy Rick Dhaliwal reported that the Canucks had contacted the Bruins this week about Zacha. That's true and I think that's been going on for quite some time. I think it's all the way going back to the summer. The Canucks and Bruins have been on and off about this. You know, Zacha's not in the last year of his deal, he has another year. Teams are looking for centers, Boston doesn't have to do here it doesn't want to do. But this has kind of been a dance that the Canucks and some other teams seeing if they can pry Zacha out of there." Friedman said.
He added, "One thing about Vancouver though in this case, I do not believe they are on Zacha's no-trade list."

The return in a trade with the Canucks was revealed
James Murphy of RG.org stated that the Boston Bruins are standing pat with Zacha right now despite interest from a lot of teams.
According to a report, a source told Murphy that if the Bruins and Canucks do get into deeper talks, Sweeney may ask for 23-year-old defenseman Victor Mancini in return.
"According to this source, if things do continue to go south for the Boston Bruins, one player on the Vancouver Canucks roster that the Bruins could ask about, if they haven't already, is 23-year-old, 6-foot-3, 229-pound defenseman Victor Mancini." Murphy said.
Boston really values Pavel Zacha, and if they were to trade him, they aren't going to give him up for nothing.
