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

[habdynasty]

Needs a full season in the AHL

Or 2

Needs a full season in the AHL

He already had one.
So he needs a 2nd season in the AHL. At least.

 

[ZUKI]

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

more time

 

[Team_Spirit]

People forget Mailloux missed ton of crucial development ice time with his 17 games in Sweden in 20-21 and then 12 games in the OHL in 21-22.

He will be fine simply needs more ice time and reps.

 

[Rapala]

Or 2

I haven't found his camp to be that great he seems off like the next step is too much for him.
They've been giving him good 2nd line minutes with Engstrom and I think they see that pairing working in Laval.

Mailloux had a very good rookie season last year with Laval after playing just a few games more than a full season in 3 junior years. Fans will have to be patient and like you said he’s got a lot going on for him.

I still remember all the outraged idiots scorning the Maestro for taking Mailloux. And now they walk this thread whistling like nothing happened.

lol

Picking Mailloux was another proof of courage by Maestro Bergevin and Majestic Geoff.

I don't recall the criticism being about the quality or potential of the player. If anything, most acknowledged that Mailloux fell in that draft.

The reason he fell, and the reason the choice to draft him was panned by a large range of hockey & non-hockey people was never about the future potential of his hockey career.

He seems to have kept his nose clean since then, and shown enough to the new management group for them to keep investing in his development. I'd say it's a positive thing that most have moved from his mistake. Hopefully he has actually grown from it and doesnt do anything to hurt another person and make the team & fans regret supporting him.

I still remember people defending sexual assault and pretending that it was completely ok to not only go against Logan's wishes to not be drafted, but also make the selection without reaching to the victim and then having the victim have to live through the consequences of his actions to be 'drafted in the 1st round by Montreal'.

It wasn't courage. It was another evidence that Bergevin was a shitty human.

Logan earned his second chance and did everything he could, from all accounts, following the selection. So obviously Logan got afforded the ability to do better and that is why the noise has died down.

No one should ever applaud Bergevin for what he did. He's a trash human being who handled everything with the subtlety of a baboon. The way they handled the media after the selection was also a blight on the franchise.

Thankfully it was the final straw for Geoff with shareholders threatening to pull out and it finally got Bergevin and his infection out of the franchise and we are beyond better for it. Also believe Logan is better for it because real humans with real emotions and real tact were able to handle his second chance and ensure it was done properly.

This has got to be the best post I’ve read in a long time....

Thanks man, couldn’t have been said anybetter

Well said @WeThreeKings

 

[Beaker]

I liked his game last night.

 

[tnq]

Your description reminded me of Vladimir Malakhov, who actually might not be a bad comp for Mailloux...

NO . I didn't like Malakhov as player but i remember how fast he was, how strong he was, his vision was incredible when he wanted to.

 

[vokiel]

He looks as read as Barron was when he was rushed to the NHL.

So back to the AHL.

[Hannibal]

Would let him start in Laval. Still needs
Seasonning.

 

[Andy]

The talent is there, but man that footwork is really a hinderance for him. He's so clunky on his skates. He's good in a straightline, but pivoting....it's an 18-wheeler turning.

I'll never forget their relationship and Molson's hungry eyes.

 

[26Mats]

I really like Mailman for all his attributes especially his willingness to mix it up.

He's nowhere near as impressive as Hutson but he's as offensive minded as Matheson. Right now offensively he's behind Hutson, Matheson but ahead of everyone else offensively. Defensively he's a 6-7 on the team.

I think a huge difference will be him getting use to a really good defensive partner. If they put Mailman and Guhle together, they might as keep him up. Guhle will be playing on his natural side and probably show far more offense while helping Mailman improve his defensive game.

If Guhle plays with Mailloux, who plays with Matheson?

Long term, what would be better for Mailloux's defensive development: playing big minutes in the AHL this year, or sheltered minutes in the NHL, or even being in a rotation?

Since we already have 7 NHL dmen, I don't think there's any rush to have him in the NHL this year. Also, Barron is pretty good offensively. I hope he can also figure out the defensive side.

Mailloux can use more seasoning but to me I have serious doubts that Barron becomes part of the top 6...he just doesn't have it defensively.

 

[Ozmodiar]

He’s 7th on the (healthy) depth chart, so he can stay until Guhle returns.

If he has a good year, he could leapfrog Struble and Barron. At some point the org will have to choose between him and Barron. I believe one will be part of a trade package at some point.
