Vagrant
The Czech Condor
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.
the league has PR people and those PR people are very smart. the longer time goes by between the incident and what happened, the lesser the outrage will be. they're going to try to sneak it in under the wire during a time when everyone's attention is elsewhere like after a big trade or something like that to make it be secondary news so that the public reaction will be less explosive. I think a lot of people are looking at him having to wait this long for his ELC bonus money as part of the punishment, but there's no chance they walk away from the player. he's done everything by the book and has shut his mouth.
