Anyway, Mailloux meeting with Bettman to determine if he is eligible to play NHL next season. Possible that he plays in Montreal next season? Nobody thought Xhekaj would make the team.

From all accounts, Mailloux needs BIG minutes in Laval next season to work on his defence to make up for the 20/21 OHL season being cancelled and then only getting to play 12 games in 21/22.

The same things were said about Xhekaj last off season. Nobody thought that Xhekaj was even being considered for the NHL. Some posters even called such a suggestion as, “irresponsible”. I bet Mailloux starts in Montreal for development under the new regime. I don’t agree or support this direction but it’s what HuGo seems to be doing with our youth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While HuGo do seem pretty freewheeling in their approach to development - far too much for my taste - it’s worth noting that Barron spent a lot of last season in the A. So there is precedent for them keeping a big, defensively-challenged, high-ceiling D-man in the minors to marinade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while Guhle, Harris and Xhekaj played for the Habs, there was, uhh, a shortage of experienced NHL-level D-men that could play. They won't need Mailloux in Montreal, so I, too, expect him to start the season in Laval. I think the meeting with Bettman is to make sure there is no roadblock to playing for the Habs, whenever that may be, not that his NHL debut is imminent.

This meeting is to clear him in case of call up too I would think. Cant wait to find out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 The Senators are going to be sold to Michael Andlauer who is a minority owner in the Habs. He'll need to sell his stake in the team but I believe that's more or less agreed on in principle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d invest. is there 2000 members willing to invest $10K each? 20 mil for day 2-3% of team but not the bell center…? (Apparently Andlauer owns 10%~ of team and building…?) the consortium elects one person to represent their interests, dividends galore, AGM on Super Bowl wknd, we get block of seats both games that weekend as perk haha, this is my daydream today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd be neat in theory but it's going to a single investor. A while back, I had heard that Andre Desmarais was the likely purchaser if Andlauer had to sell but at the time, an agreement in principle hadn't been finalized.

Last December, Forbes valued the Habs at $1.85B ... so Andlauer's share worth at least $185 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, in a way I feel badly for them, since it might not be their fault - who knows? But it’s a ‘results’ business. I like the accountability.

But almost certainly some part was because of players NOT playing through injuries, since they were not going to make the playoffs anyway. But how much that contributed, we’ll never know.
