Go habs
My theory is that Kent Hugues is a spy and he has dirt on every GM so he blackmail them to get what he want
I think this is kind of unfair to Mailloux. We're looking at the first 3 games of a 22 year old rookie defensemen's performance on a brand new team. He has to adjust to a new team, a new city, a new system, etc. Give him some time.
0:22 say that again ⁉️⁉️
Talk about premature ejaculation!! D man take time stupid.
Blues fan here…missed your video on the Canucks coughing up a big L…
I'm not worried about Mailloux, he's got 10 games into his career…Jim Montgomery is a former Defenseman, and as a head coach, he'll sit players with 10 years experience if it's going to get their head on right…Mailloux could wind up in the AHL sooner or later, but You can go ahead and toot your horn, about what seems to be an off balance trade. Defenseman take much more time to develop. Right handed Defenseman come at a premium, and if in a couple of years, Mailloux turns his game around, then the investment may have reaped it's dividends. You fail to mention Jimmy Snuggerud, who happens to be the "replacement" for Bolduc, and Snuggerud as a rookie, seems to be holding his own…
The Blues have 12M in cap space as of now in cap space. Mailloux as mentioned, could go back to the AHL for some tutelage and maturing, that's not an issue, and a trade could be made mid season, provided the Blues look like they're firmly in playoff position. …
Honk away Big Boy, there's no argument that as of today, that the Habs are on top in this trade, but today doesn't mark the end of Mailloux's playmenship…I wish Bolduc and the Habs all the best. I look forward to a Lord Stanley 's Cup match up between the Habs and the Blues…That would be awesome to say the least
I agree with another comment. I wouldn't exactly characterize the trade as the Habs being bandits on this trade. I bleed the blue blanc rouge, however, this is hardly the time of year with the games currently played, to judge a trade. Besides, it takes Defensemen longer to mature in their role generally speaking. That being said, I'm very excited to have Bolduc on our team and to see how he progresses as a Hab!
The secret with Montreal is Martin St-Louis
As a fan of Laval that went to many games i can reassure all St Louis fans that Mailloux will have an exceptional career.
Mailloux has always struggled when he gets a chance in the nhl I'm a habs fan and I would do the bolduc for mailloux trade if I was the habs management bolduc has proved him self in the nhl and he's a quebec born player. I never personally thought Mailloux would make a permanent stand with the habs he's a solid ahl defenseman but I can't see him being the player some people thought he would become it's the same with Joshua Roy he's great when he's in the ahl and he shits the bed anytime he's called up to play
Teams need to be more careful trading with the habs. They fleece everyone😂
Mailloux is over rated. I wish him well, however, I believe he will turn out to be average.
hes only played 3 games this season and is a #6 defenseman chill !!!!—-st louis has a good team and can double shift defensemen if they think they need to
I am happy that Bolduc is fitting in with the Habs. I like Mailloux who has a great shot, and is physical, if he masters his shot, shoots more often, and makes less defense mistakes he will do well. Rooting for both players.
While Mailloux has good offensive tools, he was a defensive liability in Laval. The blues need to send him to the AHL to let him continue to work on his defensive game.
