It’s a similar effect in giving up Emil Heineman for Dobson, and then trading for Zack Bolduc soon after. Heineman is a fine bottom-six player on the rise, but Bolduc showed he’s already top-six caliber in his rookie season. What’s exciting about Bolduc is his defensive game, a sorely missing element from Montreal’s forward ranks beyond Nick Suzuki.
