Really, and I mean really, sorry to see bolduc go…
Hope the guy they got works out.
i kind of like the trade ..what is mailloux baggage? what did he do ?
Mailloux is big, strong and mean with great offense. Needs to work oh his D, but like you said BIG RH shot dmen are hard to find. I think it works for both teams. If we hadnt have traded for Dobson, I would be against this,
Hopefully it's a win win trade
Hey just fyi its pronounced may you
It is really hard to swallow losing bulduc he was probably the player I was most excited about for next year like you said you do have to give something to get something. I hope this guy is going to be worth it because I think we’re gonna see ball posting 30 to 40 goal seasons, and he was a player that didn’t mind getting into the physicality kind of reminds me of a Brendan Shanahan smaller of course, but I don’t know like you said also hopefully they know what they’re doing. I’m just glad kyrou. Is still a blue

I totally agree with you guys on kyrou I’m so glad !!! he’s still a blue
I totally agree with you guys on kyrou I’m so glad !!! he’s still a blue note I think the problem with some people is the way he he interviewed with Berube got replaced he just was taken so everybody got on his ass. Well wake up blues fans stand behind him.
Montreal did not like the kid but I think he instantly brings one of the hardest shot in the league, it is really easy to see what Blues GM see in him.
Thanks for Bolduc, but don't discount Mailloux. He will be good.
Wow haven't bothered to figure out how to pronounce Mailloux??
I DID say his name at the 10 min mark Dylan and I were joking within a few minutes in! Please watch the full episode before saying I wasn't saying it LOL
Habs fan here, always liked the Blues as well.
Both teams are in similar spots, was happy to see them both get into playoffs
This was a good hockey trade
St Louis needed a RHD
Montreal needed a FWD with skill, grit, speed
Hopefully this is a trade that works well for both
I didn’t want to lose Mailloux for nothing
…really happy we got Bolduc in Montreal
Leddy on waivers, hopefully somebody claims him and we can get some cap space🤘😀🤘
I don't agree that it was insane that he was drafted. What was insane was the over-the-top reaction of the media. What Mailloux did was very wrong, but you would think he had killed his whole family the way people freaked out. It was all virtue signaling. The Canadiens (I'm from Montreal) wanted a big right-shot defensemen to replace Shea Weber, and that's why Marc Bergevin decided to draft him. Let's face it; someone would have drafted him that year, even if it was in the third round. And the result worked out beautifully for the Habs. They got a talented young defenseman who they were able to trade for a top young winger.
I'm a Blues fan that has lived in Vegas and likes the VGK and wishes the Blues would be as aggressive as the VGK and their management that being said I'm not excited by the Marner acquisition hopefully Stone can bring his play up to the his play to the rest of the team by leading the way as usual show Mitch what a winner looks like
Blues got fleeced
Go Habs Go! Can we also have a 2nd line center?
Hey Blues fans, yall might miss Bolduc but you got a gamer in Mailloux.
He'll be good for you. Maybe really good now that he's getting a chance. It was just a numbers game on D for my Habs and We're sorry to lose him. Be patient he's going to be a winner!
Hello from Montreal… our beloved GM, traded a useless Justin Baron to Nashville for Alexandre Carrier, then he traded 2 first round pics and a 4th liner winger for Noah Dobson, finally he stole Bolduc from you in exchange for a big right-handed offensive minded D man, with a low Defensive game and questionable hockey sense. Kent Hughes, our GM, is a deadly negotiator and other GM's are being played big time!
