RD Logan Mailloux (2021, 31st, MTL)

Maybe wait until he plays a game before calling him the steal of the draft lol. This here is how you set yourself up for disappointment.

Just for you incase you never noticed it in my post. COULD

 

[ole ole]

Steal? He was projected as a 25-40 pick. He was picked exactly where he was supposed to go

Early on he was in the top 15 but after the scandel he dropped down to 23 -35.
You have him later because of ?
I have him still in the top 15 because of his skill and potentail.

""All off ice issues aside the Canadiens hope to get this young prospect back on the ice as the organization feels they have stolen a top 15 talent with the 31st overall pick""

Bold claim if they believe he is a top 15 talent.

they must be shocked to know that they could have gotten with an even later pick instead of a 1st round pick and the attention that goes along with it.

 

[ole ole]

It was the right move on his part, and Bergervin had to go f*** it up for him.

Get the spotlight off yourself, put off the perception that you paid some kind of penance and tried to straighten up and redeem yourself. Instead Montreal put the spotlight right back on him and now the narrative is he did something wrong and didn't pay for it at all.

No matter when he was picked the narrative was always gonna be he did something wrong and didn't pay for it at all. Guess all it took was a GM. with balls and the understanding that he was getting possible a top 15 pick in the 31st spot was a now brainer. Now because the Habs did we/he even gets more hate. As a Hab fan ,i love it.

 

[ole ole]

A pairing that'll be right up there with Dahlin/Power, Seider/Edvinsson, and Chabot/Sanderson, no doubt.

Ya imagine a 16 th and 31st pick could become good .What a thought.

It was reported that He was going early in the 2nd rd.

McKenzie literally had him ranked 35th in his final ranking.

And loving that your team is getting hate over picking a player who just got in trouble, who didn't want to be picked, is just weird. Bergervin did a disservice to the organization for picking a kid in that kind of trouble in the wake of the Blackhawks scandal, he did a disservice to the kid for picking him against his own wishes, and he did a disservice to the girl for pouring lighter fluid on a smoldering story.

And if you don't believe that, why did Montreal wait to release a statement on the pick until an hour before Free Agency opened, when they knew the story would get buried?

Ya imagine a 25th and 31st pick could become good .What a thought.

Nobody contested, "Good". "Insane", was where the laugh was had.

This isn't even an update lol. This is just some shoddy blog reporting something that was already known as if it's news lol.

 

[TeddyBare]

It was reported that He was going early in the 2nd rd.

which is what a smart organization would have done to not have the attention that went along with the 1st round

but this is Bergevin we are talking about.

Oh Wow .You knew all that all ready? Man where do you get your news.

Anyone who follows the OHL knew this.

Knew what?

What I was about to post too, I was hoping to get more detail on what exactly he did to show the promise that Ramage refers too.

 

[Coaches Coroner]

Knew what?

that he was going to be out until the new year and that his suspension status would be reviewed in the new year.

 

[ole ole]

that he was going to be out until the new year and that his suspension status would be reviewed in the new year.

There was a lot more in that article than just that.

 

[MardyBum]

Hopefully it's not a bunch of fluff from the Habs and he is infact putting in work off the ice to make ammends.

 

[montreal]

should be able to apply to be re-instated in a couple days if the OHL doesn't shut down by then.

 

[ole ole]

This i totally agree with.

 

[montreal]

stick to hockey talk, there's a thread on the main board if you want to talk about his off-ice issues.

 

[NHL Dude 120]

I’m still of the belief that he shouldn’t be drafted and instead quietly picked in the late round instead.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Hopefully he can put everything behind him and play some damn good hockey.
London has been craving for him to return.

 

[NHL Dude 120]

Im still of the belief he should have not been drafted and waited until next year spending this year being educated and doing some PR work to try to atone for his reckless behaviour. Even if it was a draft need for Montreal its still stupid optics.

 

[Monsieur Verdoux]

 

[TkachukMyAho]

Good. He made a dumb mistake, acknowledged the mistake and hopefully he gets back on track.

 

[Jumptheshark]

most people wont notice the announcement till he plays--with all the other news today
