Possible trade: it's now confirmed for Logan Mailloux

Indeed, Logan Mailloux and David Reinbacher on the right, then Kaiden Guhle and Lane Hutson on the left. This is the kind of lineup that many general managers dream of.

The problem is that the Canadiens don't have as much depth in their forward positions, and to acquire talent, you often have to give up talent.

Thus, the rumor mill in Montreal is buzzing, and Logan Mailloux is frequently mentioned in speculations.

According to David Pagnotta, there is no chance that Kent Hughes will trade him, nor any of the four young defensemen mentioned above.

If you think that one of the team's future top 4 defensemen will be sacrificed, forget it right away.

Kent Hughes will trade others first and will find ways to acquire good forwards without sacrificing the future of the blue line.

In his rookie season with the Rocket, Mailloux scored 47 points in 72 games, which is excellent.

He could even make the jump to the Canadiens as early as this year.

With Lane Hutson and David Reinbacher around, along with Adam Engstrom (who should not be forgotten), there will be competition at the next training camp, and important decisions will have to be made by Kent Hughes and Martin St-Louis.
