Simon Boisvert, who is increasingly present in the sports media landscape in Quebec, just discussed a potential major trade involving Logan Mailloux.

Let’s recall that two years ago, General Manager Kent Hughes caused a surprise by trading a young defenseman who was adored in Montreal.

He then sent Alexander Romanov to the New York Islanders in a trade that ultimately allowed them to acquire forward Kirby Dach.

A new trade by Kent Hughes, like the one with the New York Islanders involving Alexander Romanov?

Simon “Snake” Boisvert seems to think that the Montreal Canadiens are preparing a new trade, similar to the one made for Romanov, and he also seems to believe that the next one to face the same fate could be none other than Logan Mailloux.

You can guess that this is far from unanimous.

“And since then, we’ve been wondering when such a trade (which was excellent for the Habs) will happen again. After all, it’s been two years since it happened (the Romanov trade to the Islanders)

On this subject, during his most recent appearance with Tony Marinaro, Simon ‘Snake’ Boisvert said that he wouldn’t be surprised if the next one to meet such a fate was Logan Mailloux.

In his view, the ‘Alex Romanov treatment’ could be reserved for him.”

Losing Mailloux could really hurt the Canadiens.

It’s true that the Canadiens have a surplus of defensemen, and it’s true that Logan Mailloux would be much easier to trade than a Justin Barron or a Jordan Harris, but he has such high potential!

If I had to choose between Lane Hutson or Logan Mailloux (knowing that David Reinbacher and Kaiden Guhle will certainly not be traded by Kent Hughes), I would choose Hutson, but still.

In any case, I guess this will be a situation to watch, especially since it aligns with what Marco Normandin recently revealed as a scoop.

For a forward like Trevor Zegras, would you trade Mailloux?
