Jim Montgomery may have given us a sneak peek at what the Bruins' top line will look like on Wednesday at practice. It was Pavel Zacha in the center spot, with Brad Marchand on the left and David Pastrnak on the right.
Zacha played mostly wing last season but did play some center and was solid when he did. He and Pastrnak already have some chemistry as they spent the majority of last season on the same line together, and obviously, Marchand and Pastrnak have played with each other plenty in the past.
It's still weeks away from the regular season opener, but it's pretty clear that this will probably be the Bruin's top line to start. Zacha is an unproven long-term answer at center, but it is his natural position, and having two highly skilled players on his wings, this should be a great combination.
