The team's first round pick in 2021, his selection was frowned upon by many experts due to allegations of sexual misconduct against him and he was even suspended until early January in the Ontario Junior League.
Now that the dust has settled, the right-handed defenseman has looked good this season with the London Knights, where he has nine points in 12 games but is currently on the injured list.
But with the arrival of Justin Barron and Jordan Harris, what are Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton's plans for Mailloux?
As reported by my colleague Alexandre Desrosiers of RumorsandTransaction.com, the Habs prospect's case was the subject of a very interesting discussion between Tony Marinaro and Brendan Kelly on The Sick Podcast.
Marinaro mentioned that despite the controversy surrounding his selection, he believes the Habs should retain Mailloux's services and give him a chance to shine, but he wouldn't be surprised if he was involved in a trade this summer.
For his part, Brendan Kelly is of the opposite opinion and says that Kent Hughes should trade the Habs prospect, mentioning that the fact that he asked the team not to draft him could make the new management seriously consider it. After all, he was selected by the old management.
It will be interesting to follow this file closely in the coming months and also to see, in the event of a transaction, what value Logan Mailloux may well have across the NHL.
