Zachary Bolduc: passing is an underrated aspect of his game, says Grant McCagg

The former scout says he’s very impressed and can’t wait to see him in action, this time with more skilled teammates.

Yes, in St. Louis, he played on the powerplay with guys like Jordan Kyrou and Robert Thomas, who aren’t two of a kind, but at 5-on-5, he played with Mathieu Joseph and Oskar Sundqvist. They’re not the biggest scorers.

McCagg says that with guys like Ivan Demidov or Kirby Dach on the edge, his passes will be put forward even more.

Yes, Bolduc will help on the PP, but he’s a “pain in the ass” as McCagg describes him. He’s a fighter, he’s always on the move and he puts pressure on defenders right from the face-offs.

McCagg was full of praise for the Québécois throughout the video. He loves his vision and his ability to protect the puck. In game No. 82 against Utah, he did everything and was the Blues’ best player, in his opinion.

He’s very impressed by his maturity. He doesn’t play like a 21- or 22-year-old.

If the columnist and now youtuber’s comments are anything to go by, the Habs have a gem on their hands.

Overtime
