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

[Treb]

Yeah I just posted the rules above. There's nothing about him refusing a contract or not. If he doesn't sign, we get #63. It's # selected in previous draft but in the 2nd round. He was selected #31.. so with 32 teams, we get #63 I guess?

That said, we have 2 years to sign him.. so one more year after this one?

You need to have submitted a Bona Fide offer.

And yes, we have until June 1st 2023.

 

[ArtPeur]

I know that the Rangers got a pick because they couldn't sign Cherepanov after he passed away. I thought I heard at the time that it was because he refused a contract as a formality while playing in Russia. I could be wrong.

Looking at previous drafts:

+1 2nd pick in 2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, etc.

Seems like it happens a lot

I'm not sold on the kid either. Make him show something next year if he wants to be an NHLer. A 2nd could be more valuable than him if he can't piece together a good D+2 season.

the only reason you are not sold is because you are too concerned with ethical and moral dilemmas.

 

[Whitesnake]

It's about to happen this year too...

He also hasn't played much hockey since the draft.

Really? Kid played 12 freakin games this year. You were sold with those games?

 

[Adam Michaels]

Minny is about to get a compensatory 2nd round pick for not signing their 1st round pick from 2018 (whose rights expire tomorrow)

 

[Ezpz]

That and he's only played 30 games in two years, 20 of which were in the Swedish Z league, which can have disastrous results on development. On top of that he injured himself in a dumb fight and may have given himself permanent shoulder issues.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Of course the possibility they sign him is real.

But this isn't the previous group that drafted Mailloux. This is a brand new group of people in charge now and they could value an extra 2nd round pick in their pocket for 2023 that would fall on their laps. A 2nd round pick they can use to move up in the 1st round and get a better player.

You can't move up much in the 1st round using the 63rd pick. That would've been a 3rd round pick just 2 years ago.

 

[le_sean]

I’d be happy with the late 2nd for him. Unless he plays and tears the OHL apart. The lack of hockey is a concern.

 

[Habs Halifax]

How far can we move the 26th pick if we use the Oilers 2nd (54 I believe)? 20th spot ish?

 

[Frank JT]

Let's give him at least a year and see where he is.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Really? Kid played 12 freakin games this year. You were sold with those games?

He's a former mid to late round ranking prior to his mistake and in his 12 games, he has good numbers. Who knows where he ends up but giving up on him this early is premature. He's got a very good set of tools

 

[Milhouse40]

For some reasons.....My best guess is that Mailloux will be use to drop a contract.
The Habs' image is paramount for the owners and Hugues might need something to drop some of the bigger contracts. Kill two birds with one stone.

 

[Benstheman]

I think Oilers pick will be 61st or 62nd or else is in 2023 draft. And yeah we might be able to move up 4-5 spots imo.

 

[waitin425]

Wait and see what this kid does with the Knights this year. I am willing to bet his on ice product in his D+2 season is as good or better than Guhle's.

 

[Whitesnake]

I'm not saying to drop him now. I'm clearly saying though that he does not deserve a contract. Yet.

 

[Adam Michaels]

It depends what else is used in such a deal.

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

If Mailloux does very well in the next junior season, like i think he will, they will sign him, they have plenty of time left.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Pretty much this.

They're not going to not sign him if he's doing well. Big, right handed dman who can skate.

 

[Sterling Archer]

He's the rare prospect that they can take all the time they want to bring him up and develop. No one is calling for him to go to Laval, called up etc. Let him develop in the shadows and emerge when he's ready to dominate. No hurry at all...

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

Pretty much this.

Hughes said it today, they will not sign him this year, so they will do like i said.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

Mailloux has all the tools to be a great dmen sucks that he barely played any hockey the past 2 years but hopefully he doesnt get any big injuries next year

he should have a big role with the nights next season

he will get signed next year i have no doubt
