The St. Louis Blues made what general manager Doug Arsmtrong calls “an old-fashioned hockey trade” on Tuesday, shipping forward Zack Bolduc to the Montreal Canadiens for defenseman Logan Mailloux.
Armstrong commented to reporters after making the deal:

Armstrong said Mailloux has a place on the depth chart for next season and beyond.
The 22-year-old split last season between the Canadiens and their AHL affiliate.
Meanwhile, the Blues added a free agent, signing Utah forward Nick Bjugstad to a multi-year deal. He’s a veteran of 760 career NHL games.
Doug Armstrong said the signing came after efforts to ink Radek Faksa to a new deal fell apart.
