Hutson and Mailloux: the two guys who stood out today in Brossard

In the eyes of The Gazette’s reporter, Hutson and Mailloux are likely to earn a spot with the Habs because they look NHL-ready.

Hutson stood out today with his speed, vision and ability to find his teammates on the ice… While Mailloux looks like a guy who can succeed in the best hockey league in the world even if he’s only played one season in the pros.

That’s encouraging, at least.

Speaking of Mailloux, some training videos were posted on X today and there’s one thing that catches my eye.

It really looks like Mailloux has improved his skating stroke.

He was flying around the rink today at a height of six feet three inches… And he completed the various exercises with exemplary intensity.

It’s hard to ask for more when you see the pictures:

Logan Mailloux truly looks like a monster on the ice.

He’s obviously worked hard this summer to improve certain aspects of his game, and in that respect, I get the impression he understood a lot from the game he played with the Habs at the end of last campaign.

The defenseman has seen what it takes to play in the National League, after all.

Now, let’s wait and see if he can stand out at the Habs’ real camp next week. Same goes for Lane Hutson!

Overtime

– There’s room for Slaf!

– File to follow.

– It’s special, isn’t it?

– All the better.
