According to a new report, a Western Conference team has been in talks with the Bruins to acquire a top centerman.
Multiple teams around the league are looking for centermen, and the Boston Bruins have a couple that they would be willing to move on from.
Pavel Zacha has been one of the biggest names in the trade market dating back to the NHL trade deadline last year.
Now, NHL insider Rick Dhaliwal stated that one Western Conference teams has had Zacha on their radar for some time.
Vancouver Canucks interested in Zacha
According to Dhaliwal, the Canucks have had interest in Zacha for some time, and he makes perfect sense for them.
"The Canucks have had interest in Zacha for a while. I've had more than one person tell me Vancouver and Boston are talking Zacha. That's the best fit for the Canucks-Zacha... Bruins have lost six straight. If there's a sale there, Canucks should be No. 1 in line for Zacha."

On Friday, the Canucks just ended up trading for winger Lukas Reichel from the Chicago Blackhawks, who can play center, but someone like Zacha, who is a solid option to be 2C for them, would make much more sense.
The Canucks are already hurting down the middle with Elias Pettersson's production dropping and Filip Chytil's indefinite absence from the lineup.
Zacha, a former first-round pick of the Devils would make perfect sense for them, especially considering he is having a great start to the year so far.
It will be interesting to see what the Vancouver Canucks end up doing, but Zacha continues to be linked to them.
