Prospect Info: Logan Mailloux Part 3 The Only Hockey Talk Thread

[Canadienna]

He showed some good things in his stint with the Habs. I wouldn't be surprised if he's back up after TDL.

 

[Stoneburg]

Could this be because he indirectly insulted the coach?

 

[The Real Timo]

Thank goodness. He’s like a year away from being a year away. Needs serious coaching.

Agree. Looks like Laval is a much better fit for him for several reasons. I mean, I can't see him learn anything playing with the Habs now.

Could this be because he indirectly insulted the coach?

???

 

[Trabdy2]

Laval should be a better development environment for him at this stage. He got a good cup of coffee in his stint up with the Habs to help identify what it is he needs to focus on.

 

[Habs]

He's already better than Baron for the most part

 

[Redux91]

Needs work no doubt

Glad he got a taste tho
It shows you what you need to work on at least

 

[gusfring]

I'm starting to agree with Snake on this guy. I don't think Mailloux is that smart.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

He's not quite there yet, but you could see the tools and the potential in quite a few sequences IMO. He just needs more reps and coaching. He's still prone to getting very lost out there, he has a lot left to learn. Vincent might actually be better suited for that.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Showed some good things, but needs more ahl time

yeah I liked his play when he was on the bench

 

[Tuggy]

He's got some really nice tools and showed some glimpses of what he can do. But he's definitely not ready to be a fulltime NHLer.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

21 years old , turns 22 in april , no rush

 

[26Mats]

He's got some really nice tools and showed some glimpses of what he can do. But he's definitely not ready to be a fulltime NHLer.

When he's ready, hopefully he get that heavy shot of his on net regularly. Especially from the slot, even if high slot and the top of the circles.

 

[Rapala]

From what I've seen in Laval in recent games Hayes and Jacobs have been our best Defenders.
If we need to call someone up in the future I'd give one of these guys the nod if they continue to play well.

 

[Andy]

Ironically, I found he played super well yesterday.

Needs a lot of work though. That foot work...oof.

[Leon Lucius Black]

He's still only 21 and has time to improve defensively, but part of me wonders how he'd fare as a forward.

His shot is insane, he has good hands, size and can play physical. I feel like he has a lot of tools that would make him a very effective forward if the defensive side of his game doesn't improve.

When the eye test is backed by analytics

 

[bishop12]

Not surprising, but the amount of shit he takes is crazy on here. He was the only dman doing much of anything in the last game.

 

[Captain Mountain]

21 years old , turns 22 in april , no rush

Don't entirely disagree, but it was a similar situation for Barron last season and he wasn't afforded the same leeway by some fans, despite showing a lot more.

 

[le_sean]

He’s the only defenceman that did anything in an 8-2 loss? Damn. I wonder if he’ll get the Molson Cup for that.

 

[1909]

Xhekaj should had been sent down too.

Call up Lindstrom, a very decent NHL level 3rd pairing d-man.

Dunno pretty much the whole Oilers defense is in the + offense and + defense category. Looks like the quality of the offense impact those metrics a lot.

 

[Artaud]

Not surprising, but the amount of shit he takes is crazy on here. He was the only dman doing much of anything in the last game.

The only defensemen he outplayed was Struble, who was playing on his off-side.

He's rightfully roasted. He lacks awareness big time and is a defensive liability right now. It's fair to wonder what kind of role he'll carve for himself in the show. He isn't skilled enough to be a powerplay-leading offensive defensemen, and isn't smart enough to be a reliable defender. He needs time.
