Mailloux needs reps and playing less than 100 OHL games really shows. He needs 1-2 years of AHL hockey, maybe even some ECHL hockey.

I don't think the ECHL would be good for him. I feel like it would encourage him to be an offensive dynamo (which he could probably do in the ECHL) instead of focusing on learning to play D.

He needs to play a lot of AHL hockey and do extra time with Laperriere, Ramage and Bouillon (and Robidas).

Love the deep analysis of our prospects after 40 minutes of a rookie game.
I'm sorry but you are wrong. The basics of the game were executed by one team. People can't comment positively on plays they didn't see.
What an ugly start to this Challenge. Not many bright spots in this one.

I'm totally sold on David Reinbacher. His offensive talent impressive me a lot. This guy is the real deal. I certainly see a potential top pairing D tonight.

Great choice by Habs!

Hey guys it's ok, let's go back to overhyping our prospects like we've done for decades and eat our socks once it's time for them to prove things :sarcasm::sarcasm:

I don't think it's wise to call the rookies busts after 40 minutes when the team barely practiced together. Perhaps after the three games we can have a better idea of what the players can bring to the table.
