The Montreal Canadiens’ training camp opens in three weeks.
The captain was clear about it Wednesday:
Arber is a huge piece in the locker room, but also on the ice because of what he brings.
And in Zachary’s case, he got better and better throughout last season and had a strong playoff run.
We hope their situations get resolved quickly.”
– Nick Suzuki
When the captain speaks publicly and calls for two quick signings, it’s bound to get people talking.
Nick Suzuki highlights why Arber Xhekaj and Zachary Bolduc remain key pieces for the Canadiens
Suzuki also clearly recognizes everything a player like Arber Xhekaj can bring to this young team beyond what shows up on the scoresheet.
The defenseman recorded 4 points in 65 games last season, along with 116 penalty minutes, but his presence in the lineup goes well beyond the numbers.
As for Zachary Bolduc, Suzuki instead pointed to his strong playoff performance and his overall progression.
The real question now is this: how much longer will Kent Hughes take to finalize both deals with training camp getting closer?
