Logan Mailloux, a promising prospect for the Montreal Canadiens, has shone on the ice with the Laval Rocket, but his trade value remains limited due to his controversial past.
The Canadiens have many talented young defensemen like Lane Hutson, David Reinbacher, Kaiden Guhle, Arber Xhekaj, Jordan Harris, Justin Barron, Jayden Struble, and Adam Engstrom, and will need to make decisions for the future.
Scott Wheeler, a journalist for The Athletic, indicated that although Mailloux is considered the best prospect among these young defensemen, his past limits his appeal on the trade market.
Despite efforts to rehabilitate Mailloux, several teams remain hesitant. General Manager Kent Hughes will need to navigate this delicate situation, potentially sacrificing other players to alleviate the defensive congestion and maximize trade value.
