Rob Couch has just caused a surprise by involving Logan Mailloux in the Yaroslav Askarov trade talks.
It's interesting to see that this comes directly from Nashville, where they believe the Montreal Canadiens could be a realistic destination for Askarov, and more importantly, that they want Mailloux in return.
Let's remember that Predators GM Barry Trotz is currently actively trying to trade his young star goalie, simply because he's too good to be a backup behind the incredible Juuse Saros. (who just signed a massive 8-year contract in Nashville)
'The current buzz is that the Preds are looking to get a young prospect with high potential in return for their goalie. And in a piece for The Hockey News Nashville, the Habs are mentioned as a logical team, particularly because of one name (Logan Mailloux).'

And that's where Rob Couch adds to the mix.
Logan Mailloux involved in a trade with the Nashville Predators for goalie Yaroslav Askarov?
That's what the journalist believes.
'Logan Mailloux could very well be an option [for a trade to Nashville].'

He then adds that they know very well the Canadiens won't trade Kaiden Guhle, Lane Hutson, or David Reinbacher.
So, he believes that leaves Logan Mailloux.
It's also worth noting that, during the 2023 draft live from Nashville, Kent Hughes refused a major trade offer from the Predators involving Yaroslav Askarov.
It was a trade offer for the 5th overall pick, which ultimately became David Reinbacher.
Knowing all this, do you believe, like Rob Couch, that a trade between Montreal and Nashville is possible? Do you think it could involve Yaroslav Askarov and Logan Mailloux?
One thing's for sure, fans love Mailloux, and there will certainly be a stir in the city if he leaves, just like when Alexander Romanov was traded.
Askarov, 22 years old, is a 6-foot-3 goalie drafted 11th overall in 2020 (1st round).
Mailloux, 21 years old, is a 6-foot-3 defenseman drafted 31st overall in 2021 (1st round).
