Ah yes, an extra cross checking that is at worst a 1 game suspension or fine in the NHL deserves a season ending injury?

Also did you watch the fight? The other kid suckered punched him, Mailloux was taking his gloves off when he got hit the first time and the last punch he was on the ground.

Punching someone already on the ground is super dangerous. If the punch is solid could cause severe head trauma.

Don't start shit if you don't want to get hit. Sorry.

Um no, Mailloux was willing to fight the guy hence the dropping his gloves. But what the other guy did goes against the "code" in hockey and was 1000% a cheap shot.

You don't punch guys once they are on the ground and you don't suckered punch people.

An extra cross check occurs commonly in hockey what the other kid did is not.

Nah. Logan f***ed around and found out. And I wouldn't be surprised with his past that if he f***s around, he's going to find out some more since I can see players not being a fan of his character.

This is pretty simple. He needn't f*** around if he doesn't want to get clocked.

Over the top post.
 
I've been wondering about Mailloux - He isn't signed yet by Montreal, and there is new management from when he was drafted by Montreal.

I wonder if there is a rough plan where Montreal leaves him unsigned and MTL gets a compensatory second-round pick for him?

He is the only CHL first-rounder from 2021 that remains unsigned.

Don’t think it’s happening. Just no incentive for Montreal to commit before the end of the year. If he plays well this year, he’ll get signed.

He's had injuries on top of everything, has played little. If Mailloux's development has or becomes further derailed by injury, they might just take a pick.

They could also be waiting to remonitor development/improvement in the off ice stuff they said they were working with him about.
Reminds me of Jeremy Bracco was likely in a similar position, but was having a great 2nd OHL year and remained unsigned while "lesser" prospects were getting their contracts. He eventually was signed but his off ice issues were continuing to get worse and likely jeopardized his signing at some point (and lead him out of the organization and out of "decent prospect" status).
 
There was a country music festival here a few weeks ago promoted by the Habs entertainment division. The team posted video of him, Suzuki and Anderson presenting jerseys to one of the bands, so it appears they are fine with him representing the team. I don't think they would do that if the intention was to not sign him, or he was still persona non gratis.

The pick would basically be a 3rd rounder at 64th overall, so that would be even more doubtful to be the plan.

It’s still an option. If he has a tough year and they have doubts about him, it could make sense.

Doubt it comes to that, but there is no rush for MTL to make a decision. Might as well see how it goes.
 
The fact that he is unsigned is purely PR. So they can say in 2 years that he truly had the time to change and mature; because he is now a "better person" we now deem him worthy to offer him his entry-level deal and represent this organization (and also so by that time people will have somewhat forgotten about the accusations).

Not sure.

He only played 12 OHL games. They probably wanna see his development too.

Last season they didn't invite him to camp because it would have made bad press, it is obvious that they weren't going to sign him by the end of that season no matter the on-ice performances.

I think that he showed enough in those 12 games to be signed but more than likely they just want to wait and his signing will probably be on a day when others are signed so to get lost in the shuffle a little bit for PR reasons.

This, the Habs clearly intend on keeping him. He was ripping to Org at an event and was also chatting with Habs brass before this. (HuGo, St.Louis, and Lecavalier)

^^This.^^

They likely told him...

"We took a chance on you in the first because we know your potential. Do NOT do anything to embarrass us. Stay healthy, keep your head down and your nose clean and you'll get your contract."

Hopefully he does.

not his best game, though to be expected with so long in between his last game and last night's season debut.

Even if he has a rough year his skillset and physical skills are better than what will be there at #64.
