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

[26Mats]

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

Hopefully he can be solid in whatever role we need him in. May not be a game breaker.

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.

It's going to be interesting to see if the healthy top 6 is:

Matheon - Guhle
Hutson - Savard
Xhekaj - Struble

That's a lot of LD's.

The pairing of Struble and Xhekaj has the potential to be the perfect bottom pairing on D.

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.

I don't see Mstheson as a long term solution. He's at his max value so i would trade him for max return. Plus he's driving me nuts on the PP. He's no QB on the PP.

The future is X, Rein, Guhle, Hutson, Mailman, Barron and Struble. Savard and Matheson for as much as we can get now or TD.

Whatever any of us thinks about Matheson, it will be interesting to see what HuGo decide to do with him in the final year of his contract.
