Now, after injuries to Filip Chytil and Teddy Blueger, their need for a second-line centre is reaching dire status. <\/p>\n<p>According to Sportsnet&#8217;s Elliotte Friedman on the Saturday Headlines segment of Hockey Night in Canada, the Canucks&#8217; interest in the Brno, Czechia native dates back to the off-season. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s all the way going back to the summer, the Canucks and Bruins have been on-off about this,&#8221; Friedman said. <\/p>\n<p>Reports started emerging this week about Vancouver&#8217;s renewed interest in the 28-year-old, who has two goals and nine points in 10 games this year, amid the slew of Canucks injuries. <\/p>\n<p>The ball remains in the Bruins&#8217; court, however, and with one year remaining still on Zacha&#8217;s four-year, $19 million contract, Boston need not rush any decisions on some of their trade assets.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Teams are looking for centres, Boston doesn&#8217;t have to do anything here it doesn&#8217;t want to do,&#8221; Friedman added. &#8220;But this has been kind of a dance with the Canucks and some other teams, seeing if they can pry Zacha out of there.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The Canucks do have something going for them, though, according to Friedman: <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I do not believe they are on Zacha&#8217;s no-trade list.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the recent departures of J.T.
