For the last couple of months, there have been rumors surrounding the Boston Bruins and general manager Don Sweeney about potentially trading a center, whether it's Pavel Zacha or Casey Mittlestadt.
Whether or not that happens before training camp begins next month or during the season, it remains to be seen. Sweeney is stuck between a rock and a hard place as he is still looking for a top-six center, but so too are other NHL teams. One team, the Vancouver Canucks, is in a similar boat as the Black and Gold, needing pivots, and one analyst believes that GM Patrik Allvin will look to swing a deal with Sweeney.
