The New Jersey Devils have traded former sixth overall pick, Pavel Zacha to the Boston Bruins in exchange for F Erik Haula:
-
This is a fairly even deal, as Zacha needs a new contract & the Devils want to throw a large sack of cash at Johnny Gaudreau. But Zacha is objectively the better player.

-
Haula will likely assume NJ's 3rd line Center role, while Zacha will either slot into Boston's lineup as a top-6 wing, or 3rd line center. Either way, good deal for both sides.
