## Resource

Montreal Canadiens are circling Pavel Zacha, the Bruins’ standout center, as a potential trade target—especially with Boston reportedly eyeing Chris Kreider. Zacha’s stellar 2023 season (30G, 35A) and elite faceoff skills make him a perfect fit for Montreal’s second-line needs. The twist? The Canadiens’ GM once represented Zacha. With Boston’s cap crunch—after signing Fraser Minten to a $7.2M deal—they may be forced to move Zacha before his 2027 free agency. Montreal, flush with prospects and $10M in cap space, could offer a long-term deal around $8M/year, pairing him with rising star Ivan Demidov. A deal could be brewing—and it might just work out for both sides. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
