Although many Canadiens fans are eager for the meeting between Logan Mailloux and Gary Bettman to take place, all indications are that we will have to be patient as the league commissioner mentioned that he would discuss with the Tricolore's hopeful only when he is ready to make the jump to the NHL.
Along with David Reinbacher and Lane Hutson, Logan Mailloux is possibly the defenseman who sparks the most interest among CH fans, those who are greatly looking forward to seeing him in action in the NHL.
Moreover, according to comments made by Marc Dumont in his latest column on the Montreal Hockey Now site, the meeting between the league leaders and the young 20-year-old defenseman should only be a formality. He therefore mentions that there is no fear to have concerning the future of Logan Mailloux, who will certainly receive authorization to join the major league.
Logan Mailloux was selected 31st overall in the 2021 draft. The imposing (6"3 and 208 lbs) defenseman had an excellent season with the London Knights, finishing first among OHL defensemen with a haul of 25 goals. He was also sensational in the playoffs, recording 8 goals and 16 assists (24 points) in 21 games.
