His past was quickly overlooked, as he seemed to have done everything to show his goodwill.
With 47 points, including 14 goals, in the AHL this season, he finished 9th among the league's most productive rookies. His play was so impressive that he was even invited to play a game with the big club in the last match of the season. A game in which he recorded an assist, let's remember.
Despite everything, a journalist from The Hockey News considers Mailloux's first season in professional hockey to be disappointing. He even thinks the defenseman's participation in the All-Star Game was a default choice.
Excuse me? It's happening again... When will some people's desire to always put Mailloux down stop?
Oops, he seems to have missed the mark on that one! It's a terrible analysis and comment.
The comments under his X post are very critical of this article. Few people think Mailloux's 2023-2024 season was disappointing.
While it is true that it will not be easy for him to secure a spot in the main Canadiens lineup, the young man will have every chance. The trade that sent Johnathan Kovacevic to New Jersey proves that the club wants to make room on the right. It will be up to Mailloux to seize his chance, especially since David Reinbacher will likely start the next campaign with the Rocket.
Unless Kaiden Guhle moves to the right, Mailloux could be the 6th defenseman behind David Savard and Justin Barron. A spot could even open up during the season as David Savard might leave the organization, as he will be in his final contract year.
