Habs Sign Zach Bolduc! Is Xhekaj Next?!

The Montreal Canadiens have signed Zach Bolduc to a 4-year contract worth $4.2 million per season, locking up another important young piece of their roster.
On today’s show, we break down the new deal and whether the Habs got good value. Why did negotiations take so long? What does the contract tell us about how Kent Hughes and the Canadiens view Bolduc going forward?
We also dive into Bolduc’s potential. What is his ceiling in Montreal? Can he develop into a legitimate top-six winger and consistent goal scorer, or does he ultimately settle into more of a middle-six role?
Plus, with Bolduc officially signed, attention turns to another young Hab: Arber Xhekaj. Is the Sheriff next to get a new contract, and what could that deal look like?
