The Vancouver Canucks did not submit a qualifying offer to a player who interests the Canadiens due to his style of play and profile.
Aidan McDonough has struggled to establish himself in the NHL after a successful career in the NCAA with the well-known Hughes-Gorton duo at Northeastern University in the Boston area.
McDonough is a power forward with good skating ability. He had difficulty consistently cracking the Canucks' top 9, but given a real opportunity, he could potentially break out.
According to Marc-Antoine Godin, the Canadiens could sign him, and at worst, he would be a significant asset for the Laval Rocket.
