Logan Mailloux sends a powerful message, and he will have to be taken seriously
The least we can say is that there is competition for the defenseman position on the Canadiens, and two young players will do everything to earn a spot: Logan Mailloux and Lane Hutson.
While the American seems ready in terms of his skills, the comments about Logan Mailloux are less flattering. It's said that his defensive play is not quite up to par, but the young player came to camp prepared.
Indeed, Logan Mailloux knows he had a lot of work to do, and he's done his homework. A sequence from practice shows that he's capable of being dominant in his zone, even against a giant like Juraj Slafkovsky.
Little by little, number 24 is sending a powerful message to the organization, and Kent Hughes might not have a choice but to find him a spot.
Logan Mailloux is truly on a mission, and he has everything to gain. Playing the way he is, with the physical shape he showed up in for camp, I personally think it's already won.
Logan Mailloux belongs in the NHL, it seems undeniable. He is fast, strong, has a devastating shot, and is a leader. An excellent choice by Marc Bergevin despite the controversy.
