The Montreal Canadiens are cautiously negotiating with Zachary Bolduc, a former first-round pick who they acquired from the St. Louis Blues in exchange for Logan Mailloux. Both players, aged 23, have had inconsistent seasons, with Mailloux improving after a rough start, while Bolduc’s early success faded, ending the season with 12 goals and 30 points. Despite his struggles, Bolduc is seen as a potential middle-six winger who could contribute to the Canadiens’ depth scoring. As the season approaches, Bolduc expresses his desire to stay in Montreal, but the future remains uncertain.
