MOCK TRADE: Polarizing Montreal Canadiens Prospect Heads West
The Montreal Canadiens have been dealing with the backlash of taking Logan Mailloux in the first round of the 2021 NHL Draft. His off-ice decisions have caused his on-ice play to be a secondary conversation.
In this mock trade, he is given a fresh start out west.
Mailloux to Winnipeg
With Mailloux graduating from junior hockey, the Canadiens have reached a decision point on whether to bring him into the organization or ship him off. In this potential scenario Mailloux heads to the Winnipeg Jets.
MOCK TRADE
Montreal Acquires:
2024 2nd round pick
Winnipeg Acquires:
Logan Mailloux
Mike Hoffman (50% retained)
Where does this leave the Montreal Canadiens?
This trade sees Mailloux going to Winnipeg along with Mike Hoffman for a second-round pick in 2024. This trade would be an interesting debate for both teams. Montreal gets to move off of a pick that causes a lot of controversy and problems in the media while dumping Mike Hoffman's salary.
However, if Mailloux is as talented as he has shown in juniors they may regret not getting more value.
