Canadiens Emerge as Possible Suitor for Pavel Zacha, per Latest Report
The Montreal Canadiens continue to look for solutions to strengthen their offense, and the second-line center role remains a hot topic for Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton.
In a market where options are scarce, one name has just emerged: Pavel Zacha.
Indeed, according to insider Frank Seravalli, the Boston Bruins forward would not be untouchable if the right offer came along, which opens an intriguing scenario for Kent Hughes and the Canadiens.
This possibility has not gone unnoticed by observers who have long dreamed of reinforcements at center. The same question arises once again: will Montreal have the means-or even the willingness-to take their shot?
Montreal Canadiens Consider Pavel Zacha a Serious Option for Second-Line Center
In an interview on Canucks Central, Seravalli explained:
"I think someone stepped up and made the right offer, that he's gettable" - Frank Seravalli
Comments that resonate strongly in the Montreal context.
In my opinion, Zacha, signed for $4.75M over two years, represents an interesting option. He has shown he can produce offensively while providing reliable defensive play. As we can see on NHL.com, he was one of the Bruins' key players last year, with 47 points.
For Kent Hughes, the question is not just the price, but also the symbolism. Doing business with Boston is always delicate, and a trade of this type could mark a turning point.
For now, Hughes is keeping his cards close. But the message is very clear: the door is ajar, and the Canadiens must decide if they want to walk through it.
