Habs Contract Mystery: What’s REALLY Going On With Xhekaj & Bolduc?

What’s going on with Arber Xhekaj and Zachary Bolduc — and why are the Montreal Canadiens taking their time getting their contract situations settled? On this episode of The Starr & D’Amico Show, we break down the situations surrounding Xhekaj and Bolduc and why there may be absolutely no reason for Kent Hughes and the Canadiens to rush. There’s a bigger salary-cap picture at play. We look at how waiting can preserve cap flexibility for the Canadiens, what it could mean for potential roster moves, and why Montreal may want to keep as many options open as possible before locking everything into place. Could Kent Hughes still be positioning himself for another move? How do Xhekaj and Bolduc fit into the Canadiens' long-term plans? And should Habs fans be concerned that things are taking this long — or is this simply smart cap management?
