I think Mailloux needs a bit more work on his defensive game. He's only spent one year in Laval and this is a guy who basically missed two full years of Junior Hockey due to Covid, his arrest and suspension, and then his shoulder injury. He hasn't made that up yet.
I agree with taking our time with Mailloux, let's see him lead a winning team in the AHL and fill in the holes in his game.

I had a similar concern about Caufield and he is fine. Yes Caufield does get clobbered sometimes but he has managed his stature all his life.
I expect Hutson to be okay in that area but I’m unsure if he can get away with some of his high danger manoeuvres.
A lot easier to avoid contact as a winger than a defenseman. Is Lane going to clear the front of the net?
-
I hope he doesn't get clobbered.
-
Maybe we should break the mould and play 3 defensemen and 2 forwards.

Slaf looked so good circling into the slot but then made the strangest shot/pass to the corner.
-
If we're picking up two points I want 4+ goals, so nice stat padding with those empty netters.

Monty seemed to lose his net on a couple goals, he was drifting to his blocker side and left too much room on his left.
On the broadcast, Mudryk is at least passable but Craig Button is absolutely dreadful. No chemistry with his partner, often starts a sentence without finishing it, and effusively praises mediocre players to the point of senselessness.
-
Colin White has been pretty good the last game or two. Another solid shift from the fourth line early in the first.
-
Another point we don't need.
-
McDavid made the whole team look silly there.
Matheson is quietly on pace for the worst +/- in CH history.

I still say without a doubt that McDavid is the best player in the world but MacKinnon is certainly number 2, a phenomenal player.
It'll be fun to watch them on the same team next year. We've been deprived of best on best international hockey for too long.
-
Slaf still has a lot of work to do on his release, had a couple big whiffs in this one.
-
Slaf was a beast last night. He was dominant along the boards and made a few elite passes. Once his shot gets up to speed we'll have ourselves a full blown power forward!

Not impressed when looking at when he was signed, for how much and how long, to now moving him with retention for a nothing pick.
Feels like this type of trade could have been done a month or two ago, if not more.
Tells me Habs mgmt caved, took whatever they could and did not stick to their guns as is often reported.
Allen's deal did look bad before it kicked in, I hope Kent doesn't have more of those. Considering his poor numbers, I don't think there was ever more value available than a 3rd, which isn't much but is better than a 'nothing' pick. If anything, I think this deal is more the case of Jersey 'caving' than us.
-
This seems like one of the more eventful deadlines in a while.
Hughes got a nice price for Monahan by pulling the trigger when he did.
-
I'm surprised that we could actually move him, good job Kent.
-
Does Kent have another deal in him? I personally would be surprised if Savard got moved given his leadership role to our young defenders. Armia, Pearson and Allen might not be movable.
Around the league, Byram seems like a huge pick up in the division if he can stay healthy.
-
What a snipe by Roy!
Looks like this McCarron goal will get called back. Too bad, it was a tank-saver.
-
Lol I don't think I'll ever see that Savard goal again.

A decent start (and PK) before Nashville scored. Still not a bad period overall. And much easier on the ears with Gord Miller getting a rare Montreal game so there's that too.
With Mike Johnson too. So much better than Mudryk and whoever.

Josi is such a beast, he's the difference between this Preds team being in the lottery or the wildcard hunt.

There are some scouts who love Demidov, McCagg thinks he is just as good as Michkov with a better attitude. I don't know if the Russian factor will drop him in the rankings but he is a very skilled winger. It might be hard for the Habs to overlook him if he is available when they draft but he likely isn't.
Ivan Demidov | Ivan Demidov Profile | Ivan Demidov Scouting Report 2024 (mynhldraft.com)
I feel like the Russian factor is enough to make him drop past Lindstrom and a couple defensemen.

Im going to the mat for Helenius. Im telling you this is the guy. Ive seriously got him at #2.
Theres just something there. I think hes gonna be a star.
This is how i felt on Quinn Hughes back in the day
I love it. He certainly has more skill than the last Finnish centre we drafted.
I don't get why Demidov is rated so high, it looks like no one is trying in the league he plays in.
Iginla might be a bit of a reach in the top 7 but he's another guy I could talk myself into.
-
Slaf is having a whale of a game all over the ice. Crisp passes, using his size, winning and maintaining possession. And he still has so much room to grow!

Gally has had a strong second half of the year. Gives me hope that he can contribute to a winning team next year!
What a dramatic finish with Gostisbehere leaping to keep the puck in and Raymond sniping the tying goal. Happy for Detroit, I'd rather see them make it than Washington.
Nice to see Hutson get on the scoresheet, but too bad we didn't get a powerplay opportunity for him to work his magic. He did look pretty slippery on his scoring play!
What are we going to do with this logjam of defensive prospects? Five years ago we would have killed for just Jordan Harris, let alone all the others ahead of him.
