When the Montreal Canadiens called Logan Mailloux’s name as the 31st pick in the 2021 draft, they took a significant risk. They accepted a media firestorm — which may or may not have been a contributing factor in the eventual dismissal of both Trevor Timmins and Marc Bergevin — to fill a need on their back end.
