For all the “we need a 2C” people in this sub I have a question, which 2C is available for a trade? The only guy I could maybe think of is Zacha if Boston is having a down year, and if he was traded it wouldn’t be until near the deadline anyway. Not to mention that there would be a bidding war to acquire him since multiple teams would be looking for ways to improve their centre depth and pickup a top six centre.

Im failing to see how “needing” something gets dismissed because of potential cost / availability.

Two things can be true, getting a second center is HARD and Tavares may be hitting his decline. Which a lot of us arent shocked about

My point wasn’t that the cost or availability should prevent them from trading for a 2C if it’s needed. More so that acquiring one is not as easy as people are making it out to be, due to the cost being high and there not being much available in the way of 2Cs.

Very likely it will need to come via internal/draft or FA considering our assets.

But if we’re in the playoff race around deadline they absolutely should be hunting for top 4 d/centre help. You saw a guy like nic Roy go for a late first, gotta consider at least something like that if not a true 2C
