The St. Louis Blues gained a valuable piece this offseason, but it took one or their rising stars in order to get him. In a trade with the Montreal Canadiens, the Blues picked up defenseman Logan Mailloux for Zack Bolduc.
As of now, the placement for Mailloux is just about set on the third-pairing with Tyler Tucker. If he can shine in his debut season with the Blue Note on his chest, the talk to moving him up to a top-four defensmen spot could come up.
But, with a few other prospects and players on the border of both the NHL-level and the American Hockey League affiliate, the Springfield Thunderbirds, how short of a leash is Mailloux on?
