Bruins' teammates giving Pavel Zacha high praise after just being acquired this summer
Newly acquired Boston Bruins forward, Pavel Zacha, seems like he is going to have absolutely no problem fitting in with his new team.
The 25-year-old was acquired in a one-for-one trade with the New Jersey Devils for Erik Haula, and now he is receiving some high praise from his teammates. One of those teammates is hometown boy, Charlie Coyle.
The Massachusetts native spoke with media recently and had nothing but good words for the young forward.

Zacha is likely to start on the top line with Patrice Bergeron in Brad Marchand's absence, but Coyle would love to have him on the second or third line with him once Marchand returns. It seems that the trade with the Devils this offseason is paying off, and maybe a deep playoff run could be in the near future for the Bruins.
