The Boston Bruins are reportedly considering trading away Pavel Zacha, and even more especially if GM Don Sweeney and his roster kick off the 2025-26 NHL season with losses.
Another big shakeup is about to hit the Bruins fan base, and it involves another fan-favorite forward.
Unfortunately for fans, after witnessing Marchand, Carlo and several others depart; there's one more left to be cut loose by general manager Don Sweeney.
That's Pavel Zacha who's been involved in several trade reports throughout the past few weeks, dating all the way back to last year at the NHL trade deadline.
According to a Heavy.com trade proposal, the return for Zacha will surely be underwhelming.
"Boston Bruins acquire:
Brad Lambert
2028 second-round pick
Jets acquire:
Pavel Zacha
2026 fourth-round pick (Tampa Bay)

Bruins are set to lose out big if Zacha's dealt
This will most certainly be another Brad Marchand trade, where the Bruins walk out of it in a worse position.
Draft capital would be very nice for Sweeney during his re-tool, but at the cost of Zacha, it's simply not worth it.
Lambert is a former 30th overall pick in 2022 and has yet to crack an NHL lineup full time.
«Boston Bruins forward Pavel Zacha and goalie Joonas Korpisalo have been constants on the NHL trade rumor circuit since the 2025 NHL Entry Draft, but neither player has been traded. Could another Bruins player, though, find himself on a new team before the 2025-26 regular season begins in October?,»

Zacha's agent recently spoke out, and didn't mince his words about his client when Murphy asked about his client being involved in trade talks:
«Lots of rumors,» Cappizano said.
