ARLINGTON, Va. — Pavel Zacha was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
When pro athletes get word that they’ve been dealt to another organization, the initial excitement or lamentation usually gives way to logistical headaches. In the span of just a few days, flights are booked, new living quarters are scoured over, and one’s whole life (along with their family) is packed away and shipped out.
In Zacha’s case, a trade to the Bruins in July 2022 was a bit easy to manage — especially with the deal struck with the Devils in the middle of the offseason.
