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

[Rapala]

No no.

I'm talking about the offseason after that run where Weber and price virtually retired.

That was a huge part of their team just ripped away in one swoop and shoes that couldn't ever be filled in one offseason. Yet it didn't stop him from trading a first rounder and signing a vet like David savard that summer.

He still felt like he could march on somehow, and his lack of insight into the situation and unwillingness to adapt was alarming. He needed to go.

Yeah that was a killer not being able to get anything back for those high profile assets what a disaster.

 

[Rapala]

I don't know about anyone else but I rated Mailloux's play with the puck in the Ozone pretty low.
Couldn't get his shots or his passes through for the most part and his passing accuracy was a shocker.
He seems to be pretty accurate when he's stationary but not when he's in motion.

 

[1909]

Another full season at AHL level will help him a lot.

 

[JianYang]

I just remembered he lost danault for nothing that offseason too.

Bergevin has had 2 of the worst offseasons that I can recall... and I'm talking since the early 90s.

 

[The Great Weal]

Hope he is ok as well as his family
Mailloux might be back quicker than we thought

Mailloux looked like he was 2 years away in preseason, there's no way he should be called up already.

If they need a 7th D who do you call up?

Ghostbusters?

 

[Rapala]

If they need a 7th D who do you call up?

They might call up William Trudeau and leave Mailloux and Engstrom alone.
I probably would if it's just to have a warm body in the booth.

Gustav Lindstrom

Gustav Lindstrom

 

[Kimota]

Should have kept Kovacevic.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Should have kept Kovacevic.

And waived him?

 

[Gainesvillain]

4 point night against Providence in a 5-2 win tonight. Looked really, really good.

Let him dominate the A for awhile and let's see what we've got next spring.

Hopefully Mailloux up by trade deadline at latest. Trade Savard then. Veteran defensive D usually return overpayment then. Need experience on D but Savard looks near end career. Can sign vet in summer.

 

[KevSkillz4]

He is the most underrated young D in this pool. This guy have everything to be a star. I said that since his draft year. I'm very hype with his talent. He is better at defensive also!

 

[BehindTheTimes]

At least he risked it all in his last year. Better than nothing. And it got us to the finals, was a fun ride. He finished with a bang but left a stinky mess unfortunately. However he also left us some gems in Roy, Guhle, Xhekaj, Montembault, etc.

In a normal season we don’t even make the playoffs that year. He risked it all and built a f***ing pretender. Nothing better has happened to the Habs than to get rid of Bergevin and the foxhole gang and have them replaced with Hugo. The difference between an amateur, high school drop out running the team and a real intelligent professional running the team, night and day.

Marc Bergevin is the worst GM in Habs history imo.

A bold claim.

Reggie Houle gave away the greatest goalie of all time for magic beans. Not even magic beans. Just beans.

Gave away Damphousse and Recchi for nothing, and managed to turn Pierre Turgeon AND Craig Conroy into Shayne Corson and Murray Barron.

There’s 4 Hall of Famer’s for a net profit of negative 5000. It may never be replicated.

I hated Bargain Bin, but Reggie Houle might be the worst NHL GM of all time.

Houle had economic restrictions placed on him that Bergevin never had. Not an excuse, just context.

Mailloux is going to dominate the AHL. we won't keep him down for long.

I will give you that as a small point. I mean Serge Savard said that he had a deal worked out for Roy that included getting Owen Nolan and other pieces coming back to Montreal. Much better than what dumbass Houle managed to get - plus he threw in the captain Mike Keane!!!

You can’t tell me that he got anything close to value on what he gave away. He managed to turn dollars into nickels pretty easily.
