that's very tough to know though as I used to rail against posters that hyped up Beaulieu when he was in Hamilton, I talked about how he kept repeating the same stupid mistakes over and over and how that is a big red flag. If you had of told me then that he would still end up playing almost 500 games in the NHL I would have said no way he's too stupid and can't get a shot on net to save his life. I was wrong.
Now that there's 32 teams it's watered down even more. One thing Mailloux has shown so far is he can produce but to try and figure out how much can he produce as say a PP specialist 7th D if he can't improve his defense vs what the lazy and or stupid plays he makes. It's just hard to know how much improvement he can make or not.
I have a lot of concerns, as he will just give up on a play at times and others he just does the opposite of what you should do. But I look at Baron and think Mailloux can be better then him.
