Zachary Bolduc’s Contract: 'I’ve heard it’s coming'

Bolduc's situation is unique in that we have to wonder whether the contract will be short-term or long-term. Both sides might want to reevaluate the situation in two or three years, but perhaps the Habs will want to bet on his long-term potential, and Bolduc will want to secure his future with a long-term contract.

Obviously, the salary is likely to differ in each scenario. There's a wide range of possibilities—he could earn as much as $5 million a year, for example.

We'll see how the Canadiens—who seem to view Bolduc as a key part of their core—handle the situation. It seems that, as things stand, a short-term deal is probably the scenario that will work best for everyone.

But if the Habs want to sign him to a longer-term deal and Bolduc is interested in that idea, perhaps they'll opt for such a contract instead.
