The acquisition of Zachary Bolduc, if it is not as spectacular as that of Noah Dobson, is nonetheless very interesting for the Canadian.
The tricolor went to get a 22 -year -old Quebec attacker who will be grafted perfectly with the age of the nucleus of the team.
According to Sté Cowan, passing through The Sick Podcast, Bolduc should be a key player in the successes of CH this season.

Cowan also believes that Quebecers is ready for the pressure of a market like Montreal.
On the other hand, for the moment, it is harder to predict what its role will be with the team.
Bolduc is expected to start the season on the third trio, and he may have to play in more defensive situations.
The host Matt Ohayon thinks that the Canadian should take advantage of his energy (His Motor) to develop it like Josh Anderson, in particular to play in digital disadvantage.
Perhaps as plan B, but I think that the priority of the organization should be to give it the opportunity to express themselves offensively, for example by giving it time on the second wave of the digital advantage.
In his first complete campaign in the NHL, the Quebecer scored 36 points, including 19 goals, in 72 games.
Of his 19 nets, Bolduc has scored 13 in the last 24 games in the regular season.
13 In 24, that makes a good yield in a full season!
But in addition to his offensive potential, it is precisely the energy of Bolduc and his robust game that suggests that we should maximize his chances of making it a Top Six attacker.
If Bolduc can become a marker of 25-30 goals in addition to bringing a physical element to a second trio, it could become an important element of the team, especially in the optics where CH wants more robustness.
Logically, it is the enigmatic Patrik Laine who should start in the left wing of the second trio and the supporters can hope that he is ready to undertake the season in force.
However, if he had to know a disappointing start to the season, I believe that Martin St-Louis should quickly try Bolduc’s experience in the Canadian’s second trio.
Without forgetting that it could also be an option in the center, but the tricolor should prioritize to use it in the wing.
In addition, at 22, the Quebec striker could be a long -term option much more interesting than wool who will become a free agent without compensation at the end of the season and which we do not yet know if he is part of the long -term plans of CH.
