## Resource

Pavel Zacha’s been a scoring machine for the Bruins since their trade brought him in, averaging 21 goals and 57 points per season—with a career-best 30 goals and 65 points last year. His current deal, worth $4.75M annually through 2027, makes him a key piece in their rebuild—but his rising value and the looming cap increase could push his next contract into the $7.5M–$8.5M range. With Elias Lindholm already occupying significant cap space, the Bruins face a tough choice: extend Zacha, trade him for assets, or make room for younger talent as they chase contention.
