Pavel Zacha's potential being unlocked as a Bruin
It's becoming clear that general manager Don Sweeney made another correct decision in picking up Pavel Zacha as a replacement centerman on the top line after the Bruins lost Bruins legend Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci to retirement.
Zacha, was drafted by the New Jersey Devils in 2015, in the first round 6th overall. Throughout his career with the devils which spanned seven seasons, it seemed the devils were unable to unlock his potential and he never passed 40 points per season.
Since joining the Bruins he has surpassed those numbers and is well on his way to achieving over 60 points.
Head coach Jim Montgomery has been tinkering with Zacha on which linemates would fit him best and they have placed him with Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak to see how it would work.
With his game continuing to improve with the Bruins, his salary cap hit is also something to be admired as he holds a $4.75 million cap it AAV for the next three seasons. As his point totals continued to blossom this contract will age better and better with time.
