\t\t\t\t\tThe excellent Marco D’Amico made an interesting revelation regarding the acquisition of Zachary Bolduc<\/a> by the Montreal Canadiens, in connection with Evgeny Kuznetsov<\/a>.<\/p>\n Yes, you read that right.<\/p>\n Contrary to what many believed, the Canadiens were indeed interested in signing Kuznetsov, but they changed their minds after completing the trade with the St. Louis Blues.<\/p>\n The Arrival of Zachary Bolduc Changed the Montreal Canadiens’ Plans With Evgeny Kuznetsov<\/p>\n It’s also worth noting that Kuznetsov was completely open and interested in playing for the Canadiens.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n “They now feel there’s no room for him (Kuznetsov) in Montreal, but they definitely inquired about him before acquiring Zachary Bolduc – that, I can confirm.”<\/p>\n – Marco D’Amico<\/p>\n In short, it looks like Kuznetsov will now have to look elsewhere.<\/p>\n I think he could have been an intriguing and low-cost option for the Montreal Canadiens, especially since he still managed 55 points in the NHL in 2023.. But it’s also far from a disaster if he never signs here.<\/p>\n I’m not so sure he’d be a major upgrade over Kirby Dach<\/a> – far from it.<\/p>\n Previously on HabsFanatics<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\tHABSFANATICS.COM
