I looked at a reel of all of Bolduc’s goals last year, he has a great shot. 80% of them where from center of the ice high slot with either a one timer or a wrister. Looks like he’s great at fiding the open ice to make himself open.
I think he might fit in well with Demidov who likes to skate with the puck and create plays.
I don’t think Laine will be a great fit, too static and whoever they will be centered by won’t be a selke nominee for sure. You need another winger that can play the 200 foot game and I think Bolduc is more capable in that department or otherwise. I think Demidov, Dach, Laine is too much of a liability.I saw the same thing … the puck doesn’t stay long on his stick, boom and it’s in the net.
Like you, I could see him working well eventually with Demidov as their styles are complimentary … Bolduc also brings in that 200 foot game (physical aspect/puck retrieval/forechecking).
The more I watch videos of Bolduc, the more I like his play … he seems like a stubborn dog on a bone. 🙂
Great replacement for Heineman with a lot more upside IMO.As for Laine, I don’t see him being with the team once his contract is up at the end of the season … he barely moves out there, his only asset is his shot and the opponents know it.
He’s way too expensive for what he brings (PP specialist only).Funny how things worked out … I was wondering what Hughes would do with our surplus of RHD defensemen, well it turns out that he already had a plan in place.
He killed two bird with one stone: by trading Mailloux he solved our defense surplus and he got us a Heineman replacement in Bolduc.End Result: We got a better defenseman than Mailloux in Dobson and probably a better winger than Heineman in Bolduc.
Win-Win … Hughes is like a chess player who is 5 moves ahead of us fans.i don’t think sports affects me like it does some of you guys.
We’re not crazy I swear … well hmmm I take that back, some of us are certifiable …
The fuck are the Kings doing? Petry to Florida. Also not sure WTF Yzerman is doing but have it. Cause fuck the Wings
Yeah, Detroit are very silent … they’ve resigned Kane but that’s not going to improve their team.
I haven’t followed them much but seems like a lot of stagnation over there.Dach just needs to stay healthy.
Bolduc can / has played center, not sure if he is another realistic option.
Ideally, Laine gets traded.
Worse comes to worst, the Laine and Price contracts expire after this year … thats 19 millions off the books right there.
Rome wasn’t built in a day … the pieces are slowly being put together.They need more skills in that top 6, but sure.
And its looking more and more like Dach will be the 2C to start the season.Asking price for top 6 centermen must be through the roof because MANY teams are looking for one.
Even Dvorak got a big contract with Philly … and he’s not close to being a top 6.DANG NABBIT!
Hahaha! … looks like we’re on the same wavelength.
probably yes, but still what the big club needs. grit on the 4th, cup winner, ti-gars de chez nous… like I said, good move
I’ve been looking into that Zac Bolduc dude … and I really like what I see.
The kid is a good skater, has a good shot and is not afraid to go into the dirty areas … “il a du chien dans le nez“.
Only 22 years old so the best is still to come probably … looks like HuGo & Cie know exactly where they’re going with this team.Seems like a nice replacement for Mr. Emile that we sent to NYI.
Samuel Blais a Habs! good move
AHL bound I would guess?
