Mailloux was sent down because there is no room at the moment, simple as that. He is ready for the NHL. Huston is a wonderful defensive play maker, but will for the rest of his career be a defensive liability as a defenseman, need to matched with excellent defensive defenseman. The Canadians do not have that yet or in there system. Matheson and Savard need to go , Guhle is solid and is locked up. As for the rest 2 years of NHL time to see who is NHL capable.

He looks brutal right now. Reminds me a lot like Bouchard. Great tools especially the shot, but questionable IQ. Bouch improved alot over the years playing with ekholm. Mailloux has just as high a ceiling I think
IQ is the only thing that seperates Nhlers from Ahlers nowadays.. all are excellent skaters and players.. so what is the difference? It's the ability to process the game at high speed - that is all..
Let's take a look at Mailloux.. hes a 1st rounder who made a BONE HEADED decision in his junior years. While I never really thought it was that big a deal (shoot me), the reality is the whole ordeal was so stupid it really make you question his IQ..
The game itself has evolved beyond Athleticism.. truly. 30 years ago a dim-whitted loser with speed could circumvent the IQ flaws.. no longer..
So now the question becomes, is this a player we are going to invest millions for the CH to improve and ultimately chase a Stanley Cup Run? If he lacks IQ (a la Deangelo) then we have to trade him asap..
I trust Hugo knows this, so I will wait with bated breath.

Be thankful you missed the brilliance of Larry Trader, Francois Groleau, Brad Brown and the immortal, Patrick Traverse.

Mailloux is still learning.Mike Bartner is garbage. But Mailloux was also absolute ass.

Mailloux was not expected to be a mainstay in the NHL right now.
He did show some things offensively and showed his weaknesses defensively, which is something everyone was already aware off.
His defensive game has evolved in the last year, so we can be optimistic it`s going to progress further. At this time last year, he was one of the worst D defensively in the AHL.
