Montreal Canadiens: What’s New With Logan Mailloux?
Contributors at A Winning Habit are never shy about expressing their opinions about anything related to the Montreal Canadiens. Whether it’s a trade, a free agent signing or in this case, a draft pick. In this particular case we are of course talking about Logan Mailloux.
Mailloux of course was the very controversial and second to last pick of the 1st round, 31st overall, of the 2021 draft pick. Many people, including myself as well as newly appointed Assistant General Manager John Sedgwick, opposed the idea of drafting Mailloux, especially after his now infamous incident in Sweden. The pick was so controversial that some people even went as far as changing team allegiances. Dramatic, to say the least.
After 36 years as a Habs fan, I am happy to announce that I will be transferring my fandom to the Detroit Red Wings. I’ve been a free agent since they drafted Logan Mailloux. Let the deep historical reading of Detroit hockey history begin. #NHL

A Winning Habit’s own Sebastian High wrote a scathing article, questioning why in the world would the Canadiens draft Logan Mailloux. His opinion are as valid as anyone’s and of course, the comment section went wild.
The topic of Mailloux returned once again, ironically, in another article written by Sebastian High, this time pointing out 7 interesting targets the Canadiens should look at. This time however, the mere mentioning of his name in the comments section ignited the passion of a few, myself included.
It’s amazing how mentioning one name can ignite said fire inside fans and non-fans alike. That being said, someone did message us asking what is the latest on the Canadiens’ prospect, so here we go.
