MONTREAL, QUEBEC, JUL 1 – The Canadiens exchanged defenseman Logan Mailloux for forward Zack Bolduc to address forward depth, both being 22-year-old first-round picks from the 2021 NHL Draft.
- On Tuesday morning, the Montreal Canadiens exchanged 22-year-old defenseman Logan Mailloux for 22-year-old forward Zack Bolduc from the St. Louis Blues.

- Mailloux has appeared in eight NHL games and spent most of the past two seasons in the AHL, whereas Bolduc made notable progress last season by netting 19 goals for the Blues during the 2024-25 campaign.
- Blues President Doug Armstrong expressed enthusiasm about adding Logan, highlighting that he adds an energetic aspect the team desired, while a Canadiens spokesperson noted their confidence that Zack will play an important role in enhancing their offensive lineup.
- Both teams expect their new players to boost competitiveness as the Canadiens aim to address a forward shortage and the Blues seek a right-shot defenseman without sacrificing long-term plans.
