I would push for Zacha plus Lysell myself. Zacha had a great year and is a versatile LW/Center. He is big and adds speed which we do lack within the line up.
Boston doesn't have a first until 2025 so even then I don't know what else I would want from them that makes sense for both parties.

Pavel Zacha is under contract until 2028 and makes under 5 million. Boston is already in cap hell next year, because they have to re-sign or replace Bergeron, Krejci, Bertuzzi, Hathaway, Nosek, Orlov, and Clifton, plus have Frederic and Swayman as RFAs. Even if they trade Swayman, they need a goalie.
Lindholm actually makes slightly more than Zacha and is UFA next season. I can't see any way they add one of their top prospects in Lysell, who would be cheap and cost-controlled for 3 years.
