I think Logan Mailloux might be our most underrated defenseman. You look at his size and AHL scoring. Talent. I mean this guy scored a Michigan before. This guy isnt ready for the NHL. But i wouldnt be suprised if half way into the season he gets some games.

[@Rysk12]

I was at the last game in the Bell Center and said the same thing. Mailloux did not look out of place.

[@georgemayer222]

@@4u2nvHock3y Hi, 4U2! How are you doing buddy? I’m almost back to normal. My psychiatrist and I finally figured out the proper new meds. Now it’s all about getting the right doses. My doctors said it took us 1 year and 132 days for the right ones. I’m so excited to get back to our Habs more often. So happy to have talked to you today, buddy! And, yes I’m 💯 percent on your side with the whole Mailloux thing. We’ve got so many guys that I think we should trade him with some extra cash to get a great veteran player. Who’s still got a few years in him? The one thing is they better offer Xhekaj a nice new contract. Have a great night, bro! 😂

[@4u2nvHock3y]

@Rysk12 I was too. I agree. But however it is just one game and we have way too many defenseman I think.

[@RB-wg3qm]

The only reason Mailloux will start in the minors is because he is waiver exempt.

[@johnsparkman2007]

The Canadians MUST find room for both Mailloux and Roy next season. As much as I like Justin Barron I feel that there is much more upside with Mailloux playing. Just a feeling here that Roy could be having his breakout season this year or next and I'd surely hate for it to be with another team! GO HABS GO!

[@twistedtxb]

there will. injuries will happen

[@jimmyboy2165]

Yes and I dont see to many people talking about him being one tuff dude who isn't scared to remove gloves against anyone. Montreal needs one more talented with fists and he is the one, give him ice time to learn and you will see he is the mini me of Arber Xhekaj.

[@qcdonvito4505]

Tyler Thorpe was very impressive in the white VS red game. He was definitly the best surprise for me

[@geraldboucher5881]

Pinard out. Roy on team

[@markorr999]

Thorpe impressed me at the scrimmage. very physical and gets involved in the play every time he was on the ice

[@Image1Nation]

Joshua Roy is a prospect that should at least be seen as someone you develop for a top6 role even if he ends up being a middle6 player. Every contender needs to luck out on a later round pick during a rebuild and Roy might just be that hidden gem for us.

[@jeansebastientlebreton]

Roy was Bedard linemate on Canada team.. he as the potential to start the season on the second line

[@pierreboulet1853]

That article on Mailloux was awful. Looked like a hit job. Conclusion might be correct but the author said bad thing about Mailloux like saying he had an awful season last year which was obviously wrong.

[@jamessneddon9956]

I think Barron is on the hot seat to prove he is an everyday Nhler. Has to get the panic out of his game when under pressure. Also needs to eliminate the bad hits he takes when retrieving pucks in his own end. Also needs to bring higher physicality to win puck battles and box out in front of the net. Played better when sent to Laval. See if he can build off that into this year.

[@jacobperez10]

How is Mailloux not ready? He’s the most ready if anything given a full season dominating in the AHL

[@emmvee2932]

I believe (certainly hope anyway) that Kovacevic was traded to make room for Reinbacher & Mailloux to split the season in the AHL and NHL. Give them both a minimum of 41 games in the NHL next year. The Habs should do the same with Roy & Beck too!! i.e. the issue is that they have way too many rookies and they need to start getting NHL experience ASAP so they are no longer rookies the year after. If they plan to make the playoffs in 2026 those guys need experience in the upcoming season.

[@carycwilliams]

Fantastic guys, took you a few days, I’ve kept saying it. Impressive showing at development camp, he’s pure power. Tyler Thorpe folks, watch him this year!!💪💪

[@OllieMitchells]

I’m not ready to quit on Barron.. he’s one of the youngest guys back there.. skating is very good.. shot is good.. size is good. If he comes in the season with confidence, he can hit his stride. Futur D Mailloux-Ghule, Reinbacher-Hutson, Xjehkai-Barron. It wouldn’t be bad at all. The Defenceman we should be shopping is Matheson.

[@paulalkenbrack6084]

Thx for sticking up for Roy guys. Cheers

[@zblip22]

The next two years will be vital and will unveil what kind of team the Habs will be in the future. KH singed everyone who potentially had a chance of becoming good. I foresee massive curs in the roster, it can not go on like this.

[@4u2nvHock3y]

Im very suprised that they left out Roy. He paced for about 30 points in his first couple games. Hes a great shooter and i can see him hitting the 20 goal mark next season. We need those scorers. I think he should be 2nd line right wing with Dach at center and Newhook.

[@robertlavigne9828]

No. At best Roy is a third liner. You keep Josh on the second with Newhook and Dach

[@jelepettos1894]

​@robertlavigne9828 no, anderson is a third liner at best, better give a chance to roy who can make good play compare to anderson who doesn't see anyone else on the ice. Anderson kill plays, roy can make some, give the kid a chance.

[@bedbath9056]

I was not impressed by Roy at all, like other says he is at most 3rd liner or 4th. We have so many better forwards than Joshua Roy. Not surprised.

[@4u2nvHock3y]

@@robertlavigne9828 Anderson had 7 goals and played a whole season. Roy had 4 in a third of a season.

[@robertlavigne9828]

@@4u2nvHock3y You put Anderson on the second for 2 reasons. Experience and his cap hit. Just because he had a bad season doesn't mean you leave him on a third or 4th line. Last year they did try everything to get him out of his scoring slump but no, if you put him on the third or 4h line for his season you might as well just buy out his contract or put him on waivers

[@NicholasFairbairn-jt4fz]

I don't see any world where atleast skill wise there is any reason for barron to start the season over mailloux

[@davids8473]

Best Habs chat on the internet. Can we get some more content on trade chatter with Laine or McGrorty? Gotta think Hughes makes something happen before training camp

[@sorus888]

I think if Roy doesn't make the top 9 it will return to Laval. I prefer him to develop in ahl than play less than 10 min or be 13-14 forward

[@orangeballathletics400]

I liked the way Gallagher, Newhook and Armia played at the end of the season. I'd like to see that as our 3rd line to start the year. That would open up a spot in the top 6 for Roy. May even be ok with going with some duos, like Suzuki and Slaf as one duo and Dach/Caufield as the other. Then you can slot Roy in there somewhere and not 100% sure on the other, but maybe we pick someone up, maybe we try Anderson for a few games, see how it goes. Definitely excited for this team either way!

[@carycwilliams]

You need big players to wear down teams in the playoffs. Xhekaj, Thorpe and Tuch could be players in the bottom 6

[@Conquerer.D.K]

Putting Hutson over Mailloux is insane, even more if you consider the position they're playing. Even if Hutson is a great player, Mailloux deserve it more.

[@DanyDrouin-kf4ey]

Roy def will be on second or worst case 3rd but I don’t see a word where he is not in MTL or on 4th line

[@mikepouliot3630]

Having attended the scrimmage last Friday, Thorpe was definitely a top 3 standout. Moves really well for a big guy and has a great shot. If he can make it, that will be an awesome pick.

[@spaceman3735]

Joshua Roy showed last year he deserves a chance on the 2nd line, just like Slav got his shot on the first line…….remember Roy was on the first line with team Canada at the World juniors on a line with Connor Bedard

[@DarkMatterEclipse]

Mailloux ranked 3rd in AHL defenseman, he's freshly ready but depends on what moves transpire before October...or don't. Roy doesn't only have point production potential buy good defensive stick positioning and disrupts the opponents rushes nicely, covers his areas well defensively. Thorpe, has the shot and scoring ability. Some profiles 6'4, some 6'5...he's still growing and will thicken. As for his skating, he's still growing and getting used to his size. Physical and seen some compliment his agility for his size. His weaknesses are workable. Key for Habs drafting him was his massive progression in this past season from the one before. He got basically an equal amount of helpers as goals. He has that, the rest is workable/stuff you can teach. Thorpe was ranked higher than Sawyer. Sawyer was a reach for some reason, someone in scouting really liked something about him.

[@HoopFosho]

honestly i’m kind off done with anderson.. i’m taking Roy any day before him.

[@mitchboyd5859]

You guys LOVE the word sneaky..

[@brendanaucoin]

With the best 4th line in decades where Beck's faceoff and his D is best utilized and the offensive ability comes to the fore when not on the PK, with Armia strengths are best utilized a well as Evans. Suzuki, Caulfield and Domidov with Dach, Slaf and Mesar and a third line of Newhook, Roy, and Kapinen is a Lineup to make the playoffs in '25 and with 2 first line picks in '25 etc the possibilities are endless...

[@carycwilliams]

Joshua is putting in a summer of getting into the lineup permanently

[@deniskuka4843]

actually i think roy will stack in limbo between nhl and ahl but this year i doubt they sent him down unless they trade for someone

[@jo12danjames]

Why kostenko ain’t in America yet

[@biffstrong1079]

Sherwood is 29 and finally played 68 games and had 27 points. Why do we like him? I'm less keen on Barron and Harris. I like Harris more than Barron. Course I liked Kovacevic better than either of them. Love to see Joshua Roy to get a full blown chance in the top six. Interesting I'd not heard of this Tyler Thorpe kid. Skating is important. Guys who are pretty good skaters , for their size, probably don't translate into NHL players. But nice to see how he grows.

[@Image1Nation]

Logan spending another year in Laval in a key role is perfectly fine. He can play meaningful games while being a call up. It’s not a punishment but just part of his development situation in the organization. The management is close to the farm team and Laval is a metro ride away. Mailloux also seems to be buying into what the organization has planned. What matters is that he will inevitably get his opportunity and will try his best to prepare himself for them when the right time and right situation comes up. For example, if he does end up getting paired with the Sheriff/Guhle, they will be more experienced themselves and will help Mailloux case even more.

[@heathradzanowski8784]

what would make you think Logan is not ready? do you want him to lead the AHL in scoring? Roy starts on the 2nd line unless we get a 2nd line winger in a trade before the season starts.

[@mammothmane]

I just hope the direction takes every decision based on long-term gains and upside. I'd rather have Roy play more and face challenges than a player who I know will not be in the roster in 2027. We have a losing season? Another high 1st round pick for us, which means more value to get the big trade during the next offseason

[@Sam-xx5kz]

Habs will likely make Reinbacher/Mailloux and Barron the right side long term. Savard is good but his market value could shrink so let the kids play and get a decent return. Its about getting the most out of aging assets. Barron can play that #4 Dman spot if Mailloux or Reinbacher stumble. He's the more experienced player that will take the defense role if those rookies need more time to adapt but in the end the talent chain will end up Reinbacher and Mailloux leaping Barron long term. If he doesnt like it he will get traded at that point for a depth Dman...if he adapts he'll complete the right side defense depth

[@GreenEyes046]
