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

[Mudz]

Reinbacher and Mailloux are already our young RD with 1RD potential!

Would be good to swap Matheson for a veteran top 4 RD, maybe more D oriented…but I think they stick with Guhle there for the next 2 years to see if they have that RD option internally.

Guhle-Mailloux
Hutson-Reinbacher
Xhekaj-Barron

Could be our top 6 in 2 years. All LD/RD pairings with both offense and defence on each.

Mailloux, Reinbacher and Hutson have to show top 4 potential though

Which is already a lock at this point. Mailloux was ceiling seems to trend toward top2-3.

Still can believe a professional said he was an AHL last year.

Scin10 can simp for bargainbin all he wants, we all know his true worth, buddy:

The tools are all there for him to be a really good player. The question will be if he can reach that level.

He's only 21, but he didn't play a lot of games in junior and only 72 games in the AHL. I feel like coaching and development is a little extra important for him.

I don't see him NHL ready quite yet.

To be fair, he needs 3 more years of pro play to know the player we have. Rule of thumb, takes 4 years

Mailloux should make team sometime this year. In rookie tourney, Mailloux was our second best D after Hutson. His shot and size stood out. He looked better than Reinbacher to me. Engstrom looked better at times than Reinbacher actually. Has more offensive upside, better hands. I ranked Reinbacher our 4th best D prospect. Short tourney though.

The next couple of years we really start to see what we have on D , and hopefully there are 1D and 3D guys to go with a likely 2D, Guhle

I think he he can become a Bouchard-lite type of player. Very similar players in terms of strengths and weaknesses. Bouchard didn't become a full time NHLer until his 22 year old season. I see another half-year for him in the A at minimum, needs to learn to be more decisive.

Much better skater than Bouchard though.

I have to say, I hate to harp on a young player, I've seen Mailloux play in all NHL games, a few Junior games and a few in Laval. He has NHL size, NHL shot, good hands, decent offence but every time I watch him play I am always and I mean always wanting more out of him. I don't know what it is but I don't feel like he is a winning player. He may play in the NHL but I think he will always be one of those players who should be better than he is but never really gets there. Hope I am wrong, because he has everything going for him

I found he was fairly invisible yesterday, but in his case that could be a good thing. He's often criticized for bad decision making and his defensive game, but he kept things very simply yesterday. He was effective, but not in a noticeable way.

Yep. I only saw the first half of the game but I saw and thought the same thing. He irons out his defensive game then he's gonna be a beauty of a 2nd pairing guy.
