There\u2019s a big difference between listening and wanting to move him, though.<\/p>\n<p>Fair enough. Zacha has one year remaining on his four-year, $4.75 million AAV deal and becomes eligible for an extension on July 1. The Bruins do realize how important Zacha is to what they do, and their first choice isn&#8217;t to trade him, LeBrun says.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>My understanding is that the Bruins\u2019 top priority this summer is to extend Zacha if possible&#8230; (He) obviously will be looking for a raise after posting career bests with 30 goals and 65 points this past season. But how those talks go will be balanced with whether teams step up in a real way in trade talks.<\/p>\n<p>With centers at a premium these days (there are precisely two of them listed on most rankings of the top 20 UFAs available), it&#8217;s just possible that a team does &#8220;step up in a real way.&#8221; NHL teams are dying for top-six centers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>LeBrun notes that Zacha has submitted his 8-team no-trade list to the Bruins.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now, after posting between 14 and 21 goals in each of the previous five years, can Zacha, 29, repeat that 30-goal performance? That remains to be seen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a market starved for centers, the Bruins are listening on Pavel Zacha, which is an intriguing name&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":717084,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[385,99],"class_list":["post-717083","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/717083","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=717083"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/717083\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/717084"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=717083"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=717083"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=717083"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
