I’m hoping we can pry Zacha out of Boston with a list of assets they can’t refuse. They are going through a rebuild so they might bite. Although, I’ve heard they want more of a retool than a rebuild … but they also traded their captain, so who knows. Zacha would probably be past 30 and into ufa by the time Boston is relevant again, so maybe some prospects and picks.The Sabres wanted a roster player, a top 6C...
The exact same thing what the Habs needed.
Montreal didn't have what Buffalo wanted. There was virtually zero chance for K.H. of getting Cozens. You can stop right there lol.
I would also consider sending X out west for a big C if we are planning on not playing him going forward.
