Time to move on from Mailloux?

Time to move on from Mailloux?

Why? He was always a project and can play in the AHL again next year.

From my perspective at least you trade him before his value craters ala Beaulieu/Tinordi.

At the same time I think his pre-drafte situation already cratered it so we may as well give him unlimited time to develop.

I don't see the point unless he's being used as a main piece to get an established star level player.

We can afford to keep developing him considering the rarity of the package and if he hits, that's not someone you want to have let out the door unless, as I mentioned, it was part of the deal to get someone really good and already really good in the NHL.

Not interested in a Pouliot for Latendresse deal here.

Move on from a 21 year old D man? What???

Do you think I'm suggesting to send him packing for Corey Perry? His play hasn't evolved defensively. And I'm questioning before it's too late while his value might still be good if it's time to move on.

I wouldn't move on from Trudeau. Do you know why? Because Trudeau has no value. What do we envision to be the top 6 of the future. Do Mailloux really fit in? If not, why can't be used alone or most definately in a package to acquire something really interesting?

Why? He was always a project and can play in the AHL again next year.

Because it's possible that the value could be higher to what he bring to use or the need we have for him.

Still way too early to consider it. It could easily blow up in their faces and the return probably wouldn’t be enough at this point to take the chance. And honestly, I think his D has improved somewhat. I think they’ve told him to focus on his own end which is why his offence has sputtered. Still work to do of course.

Yeah people said that about Hutson, too.

We are not in any situation where we need to 'sell high' on anyone when we have developmental runway left.

Google Pascal Vincent’s comments on Mailloux. He explains what they’re working on and why he’s not on the top pp unit.

Habs got tired of waiting for former first rounder Ron Hainsey (in 2005) to round out his game. Mailloux, of similar built, should not be traded yet, unless a first rounder is offered. He has time to show what he can do.
