Value of: Pavel Zacha at the draft.

Sometimes people mature as they age. I thought his first playoff year in Boston was good, last one was lacking but it wasn’t really an effort thing. More snakebit than anything else. The entire team was overmatched against Florida though.

If he were moved I’d expect it would be at a deadline and he’d return something similar to what Carlo just returned, I think that’s about where his value is. I get that you don’t see him as that and for good reason- he didn’t play all that well in NJ.

He was drafted to be a core player with NJ and he topped out as a complimentary player. There is nothing wrong with that but given the state of the NJ roster during his formative years he left a lot of the fans wanting more. It's not his fault he was drafted where he was. Had he gone lower in the round to a team that was not rebuilding he would have likely been seen more positively.
