On TVA Sports, journalist Renaud Lavoie noted that defenseman Logan Mailloux is just one call-up away from possibly finishing his time in the AHL for good. After being cut and anticipating a spot on the Montreal roster, Mailloux seems to be facing his final weeks with the Laval Rocket.
Lavoie provided insight into Mailloux’s demotion, stating, “This was part of the plan. He understood there was a strong likelihood he’d start the season with Laval, but I believe we’ll see him back in the NHL sooner rather than later. In my view, he’s one call-up away from leaving the American Hockey League for good.”
It will be intriguing to watch how this unfolds in the coming weeks and months. According to the Journal de Quebec, Mailloux is seen as “one call-up away from never returning to the American League.”
What do you think—could this be Mailloux’s last stint with Laval? At 21 years old, Mailloux stands at 6 feet 3 inches and weighs 220 pounds. He was selected 31st overall by the Canadiens in the first round of the 2021 NHL Draft and had an impressive season last year, racking up 47 points in 72 games with Laval, along with one point in a single game for Montreal. The young defenseman shows great promise as his career is just getting started.
