Value of: Pavel Zacha at the draft.
- Thread starter Benstheman
- Start date
Don't think the Bruins would be too keen on trading him. He can play on any line, any position, has chemistry with Pasta... Definitely a down year compared to the last 2 years for him (like pretty much everyone on the team) but don't think they'd want to sell low.
Obviously doubt he's untouchable but I would think the offer would need to be above his value.

Whether it's the right thing to do or not (I'm not sure), don't think there's any indication they're going to completely blow it up and rebuild. Think they traded the guys that wouldn't be here past next season and intend to spend money and fill out the roster, hoping the guys who had a down year rebound and for us to stay healthy next year.
Could also be completely blown up at the draft but I don't see that happening with our ownership and/or if Sweeney stays.

Agreed. You guys still have a good no.1 D, a solid starting goalie and a top 10 forward in the league. Though to rebuild with those players.

Yeah, I can't see Boston moving on from anymore forwards this offseason unless it's in a trade to get a better forward. They got rid of all the 2nd tier guys on the team they didn't want to keep.

I would give Calgary's 1st and a prospect (Mailloux as D or Kapanen as C). Both prospect are set to make NHL next season imo.

Decent price on his contract but I doubt he ever performs in the playoffs, given how he routinely quit when the going got tough in NJ. Some assists for the B's but only one playoff goal. I would not give up a 1st for him no matter what type of team you are, 2nd + a prospect at most.|
Habs would be better off using that Calgary 1st for someone better or younger.
I wouldn't touch him at all, career underachiever who only resuscitated his career because he was traded to a great Boston team and got to play with Pastrnak. Even while playing with Pasta, he only managed 21 goals in each of those two seasons, and won't even get 20 this year. And once the playoffs started and things got rough, he completely vanished, 1 goal in 20 games. Take him away from a superstar and he's back to his 10 goal average.

Boston would be smart to try to get somebody to bite. He's a guy who will be in the KHL sooner than later.

What ????? A guy put up better offensive numbers by playing with better offensive players !!!!!! I don't think that's ever happened before !!!!!!
How did he do in Jersey? How was his performance in the playoffs with Boston once real hockey started? Stop being a Boston Homer, any team would be nuts to give up a first for him.What ????? A guy put up better offensive numbers by playing with better offensive players !!!!!! I don't think that's ever happened before !!!!!!

Of course he did better in Boston than he did in New Jersey. Isn't it just possible that he's actually a better player now than what he was earlier in his career. Oh but I guess that makes me a Boston homer.

He had 6 points in 7 games his first B's run. He was less productive second time. But his playoff average for the B's and regular seasons .ppg average are very close? . I get he got 0 points in 2017 for the devil's. But that was 2017.lol.
He has 12 points in 20 playoff games for the B's. That's .6ppg. not a huge dropoff from his regular seasons for the B's. He's a 50 to 60 point C.

That's where a I have him.
What I like is he wins FO and plays a lot of PK minutes. That's what the Habs need.
Also he would play with Demidov next season, so I would assume his production would remain approximately the same. 50 pts center that plays a lot of minutes 5 vs 5 and on the PK. Sign me in.
He’s just a really solid player and I’m happy to have him on the team
The only thing he does that drives me crazy is fire absolute missiles wide on 90% of his shot attempts, if they can get him shooting straight he could pot 30. He’s perfectly fine as is though. Would need a haul to move, seems like the offers in here have been reasonable (beyond the ppl who think he’s KHL material lmao). Dude will be in the NHL for awhile even if the scoring falls off. Good 2 way guy. Reminds me of Handzus
