With training camp just around the corner, everyone’s wondering whether Kent Hughes will make a move. The Canadiens’ GM is looking for a second center, as everyone knows. And now, without Carey Price on the club’s books, the GM has the means to fulfill his ambitions. Whether now or in the coming months, the Habs are keeping an eye on him. And on this subject, it’s worth mentioning that according to Jimmy Murphy, who covers the NHL for RG media, the Canadiens have called the Bruins regarding Pavel Zacha. Other teams, including the Calgary Flames, have also made a call to the Boston Bruins.

[content-ads]What’s interesting is that Zacha is 28 years old and is under contract for two years at $4.75M per year on payroll. The center scored 47 points last year, but flirted with 60 in his first two years in Boston. He’s also 6’3 and shoots from the left. On paper, he’s an excellent target.The problem is, we don’t know if he’s available. The Bruins seem to be heading for the wall, but do they want to trade their center in 2025?And if they do, do they want to trade him to the Canadiens?

Obviously, nothing is imminent and we don’t know if anything will happen. But clearly, the Canadiens are keeping a close eye on the man who’ll be the talk of the town all year long –unless, of course, he’s traded in the meantime. spacer title=’Overtime’]- It’s on.
