This off-season, one of the most talked about players has been Pavel Zacha, and now he is being linked to a Bruins rival.
The former first-round pick has been involved in trade rumors throughout the NHL season, and it has followed into the off-season.
We are now deep into the off-season, and there is a chance that we could see a trade happen soon.
Zacha being a top-six forward and having a cheap contract has made him a prime candidate for a lot of teams.
Montreal Canadiens emerge as a candidate to land Pavel Zacha
Looking at teams that could use a player like Pavel Zacha, the Montreal Canadiens have emerged as a top team.
Heading into the off-season, it was revealed that they are looking for a top-six forward, and Zacha would be the perfect fit..
Right now, the Montreal Canadiens are in desperate need for a second line center, making Zacha an ideal candidate.
Even if the Montreal Canadiens wanted to play him on wing, or third line center, he would give them a big boost offensively.
There are multiple other teams that have been linked to Boston Bruins forward Pavel Zacha, and the chances of Don Sweeney making a trade with a divisional rival is not likely.
But, one reason the Boston Bruins could trade with the Montreal Canadiens is due to their overload of solid prospects.
The Bruins could get some really good prospects back in a trade with the Canadiens which would immediately make their prospect better.
