Why are we trading Mailloux?

some guy at hfboards told us to do so, we have no choice

I think it is too early to trade prospects except for a move where MTL would get a young potential top 6 F vs a young potential top 4 D. This is the only scénario where I would see Mailloux being traded.

Why are we trading Mailloux?

For the same reason we traded Sergchev: managerial incompetence.

 

[1909]

My guess at this point is we see something like this to start the season:

Caufield - Suzuki - Ylonen
Pearson - Dach - Monahan
RHP - Newhook - Anderson
Armia - Evans - Gallagher
Pezzetta

All the others go to the farm/junior to start. The italicized players are most likely to be moved around in the lineup or scratched, depending on performance.

I think unless Ylonen has a mediocre camp, he'll get a shot to start because he's not waivers-exempt.

Slafkovsky, Heineman, Farrell, Roy would benefit from big-minute playing time on the farm, but if any of them stand out in camp, we might see them challenge the positions of those italicized players.

OMG ! Ylonen on the first line. Are you kidding ? the guy won't even be in the top 12. And Pearson, a 4th liner at best.

Ya, I don't think so............

 

[WeThreeKings]

Eventually the absolute war chest of young defenseman will be used to acquire a high end forward.

But making those decisions now is way too early.

pearson on the 2nd line and our newly acquired newhook on the 3rd? what is going on here lol

Absolutely agree.............the stockpile of young Dmen is crazy good.

And it’s not gonna be Hutson.

But making those decisions now is way too early.

To do so (especially a high end forward), you gotta sell high on your best assets. Like say, before Trudeau comes up and bumps up a regular, you gotta sell the regular before he loses the spot and gets devalued. It takes serious ballzzz to do so.

But yes, we aren’t there yet. Not even close. I’m anxious to see a move like that, orchestrated like a maestro

 

[CheldishGamibno]

Goal Kovacevic, he's quietly having a good camp

 

[Redux91]

What a pass... Gallagher? Lol

 

[CheldishGamibno]

Gally the playmaker.

 

[Lockin17]

wwe need a center to complete the Gally-RHP line ,
Beck is not that guy,

 

[HomaridII]

Edit: fabulous Redux is

How are you watching?

 

[Gustave]

MSL loves the two of them together, and both seem to agree. Two dogs in a kennel.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

I guess the way to get Gally back to form was to pair him with young high energy guys .

 

[Adam Michaels]

How are you watching?

It's being streamed on RDS' website.

 

[Redux91]

Stephens for red
2-1 white

 

[Lebowski]

Guhle will be a star

 

[SergeConstantin74]

Primeau is a freaking joke.

 

[CheldishGamibno]

Guhle, bad positioning Primeau. Un trou BÉANT

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Guhle's goal was weak, but I feel bad for Primeau. His team is terrible.
