Contract update for newest Bruin Pavel Zacha
On July 13th, the Boston Bruins acquired forward Pavel Zacha from the New Jersey Devils in exchange for veteran Erik Haula.
Zacha, 25, is a restricted free agent, who also filed for an arbitration case. As per the Black N Gold Podcast on Zacha's contact progression:
"Last week, Zacha was one of 24 other NHL players that filed for salary arbitration. Zacha's arbitration hearing is scheduled for August 11th, where the Bruins and Zacha's agent will plead their cases, and the arbitrator will ultimately determine a binding agreement for Zacha's contract.
Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald indicated last week on Twitter that contract negotiations between both parties have been moving in the right direction, but we'll have to wait and see whether a deal comes to fruition soon."
