The Canadiens seem to have just dropped an interesting hint regarding which line Zachary Bolduc will be placed on to start the upcoming season.
As the excellent journalist Arpon Basu mentioned, we have clues suggesting the Canadiens would like Zachary Bolduc's competitiveness to rub off on
Ivan Demidov, meaning the two players could immediately be placed on the same line.
"But that's also why the Habs would like to see Bolduc's competitiveness rub off on a guy like Ivan Demidov, who already has all the talent in the world to become a dominant NHL player."

Indeed, that could form a solid line (possibly with
Kirby Dach).
Zachary Bolduc placed on the same line as Ivan Demidov?
It certainly looks like that's the plan for the Montreal Canadiens-at least for now.
Bolduc is physical, he likes to hit, and he's not afraid to go to the dirty areas, which could nicely complement the game of the highly skilled Ivan Demidov.
Zachary Bolduc, 22 years old, is a 6-foot, 187-pound forward who recorded 36 points in 72 games last season, including 19 goals-but more notably, he tallied 14 points in his last 19 games, including nine goals.
He truly seems on the verge of breaking out and becoming a solid second-line NHL forward, which likely explains why the Canadiens currently see him on the second line.
