This past July 1st, the Montreal Canadiens completed a trade with the St. Louis Blues involving Zachary Bolduc and Logan Mailloux.
At the time of the trade, even though he was proud to acquire Bolduc, general manager Kent Hughes still admitted that he had just traded away a young NHL top-6 defenseman.. which certainly carries some risk!
Well, just a few weeks later, we can say Hughes was right.
After what GM Doug Armstrong had already mentioned..
Now Jim Montgomery has added to it.
The Blues are already making their first big decision with Logan Mailloux, confirming him as a top-6 NHL defenseman
Wow.
As reported by Marco Normandin (HABSolumentFan), in an interview on 98.5 Sports, the excellent and very transparent head coach of the St. Louis Blues declared the following:
"For us, Logan Mailloux is already in our top-6 on defense.
We didn't trade Zachary Bolduc for a guy who might one day be in our top-6.
For us, he's a very talented defenseman and I think the trade is good for both teams.
We had very good wingers, and Montreal had very good young defensemen."

The decision has therefore been made, and he is outright confirming that Logan Mailloux already has a secured spot on defense in St. Louis.
It's shaping up to be a promising season!
