Prospect Info: Logan Mailloux Part 3 The Only Hockey Talk Thread

[EveryDay]

Logan Mailloux, Defenseman (Laval Rocket):
A first-round selection (31st overall) by Montreal at the 2021 NHL Draft, Logan Mailloux has played every one of the Rocket’s first 70 games this season and has registered 14 goals and 33 assists for 47 points, the most by an AHL rookie defenseman since Sami Niku (54) in 2017-18. Mailloux, a 21-year-old native of Belle River, Ont., participated in the 2024 AHL All-Star Classic and made his NHL debut with the Canadiens on Tuesday.

I think he needs to put in a little more work with his skating but he seems like the type to be extremely intimidating to play against down the line. If he can continue to improve his skating over the next few years I see a Jeff Petry type player.

I thought his skating was one of his assets?

We need to start trading some guys to make space.

Anderson, Dvorak and Barron OR Harris should be traded for good assets. Not much on the UFA market.

I thought his skating was one of his assets?

I think his straight line speed looked more than fine but I don't know .. He looked a little sluggish in terms of his lateral movement in my opinion

Really good 1st game by Mailloux. I'm really high on him, he is a good one!

Does Mailloux play AHL next year? And I can't wait for Xhekaj either. I think we really can use a guy like that and he's not without talent. We've got some exciting prospects to watch at last. We've usually only got one or two prospects of value in Laval. Laval is gonna have a great team soon.

Exactly. This is a true development system finally. After this we do the same with ECHL, which would then effectively house our 3rd team.
A true pathway to any draftpick, all of which (4th round+) players will be asking to be drafted by the Habs.

I thought his skating was one of his assets?

It is, but he needs to create separation quicker. I think an MSL summer of legs will benefit him.

His defensive game improved by leaps and bounds from the first AHL game. His upside is still not known.

Top speed is great, his first few steps can use work.
