“Logan Mailloux is becoming one of the Blues’ best defensemen”

Last July, the Habs and the Blues traded young players. While the Habs acquired Zachary Bolduc, Logan Mailloux headed to St. Louis in return. It was a pretty substantial trade, let's be honest.
And at the start of the season, the Canadiens seemed to have made a lucky move. Bolduc started the season on fire, while Mailloux was struggling so much that he was sent down to the AHL.
Except that recently, the tide has been quietly turning. While Bolduc isn't scoring anymore (even though he isn't necessarily playing badly), Mailloux is making a name for himself with the Blues.
To the point where Andy Strickland, who covers the Blues, said the team really pulled off a great move with that trade… because Mailloux is becoming one of the best defensemen in St. Louis.

What a trade: Logan Mailloux for Zach Bolduc…emerging as a top blueliner for the #stlblues. Trust the process!

And fundamentally, he isn't necessarily wrong. Justin Faulk's departure has opened up ice time on the Blues' blue line… and Mailloux has averaged 22:20 of ice time per game since the start of the month. He's being used on the team's top defensive pairing (with Philip Broberg) and is being asked to log significant minutes, particularly late in games to protect his team's lead. And in six games during this stretch, the defenseman has still managed to score two goals.
It should be noted, however, that in terms of his defensive play, there are still areas to refine. It isn't always easy for him in his own zone… but the fact remains that the Blues have a 5-0-1 record in March, a stretch during which Mailloux has begun to take on a more prominent role.
The Habs aren't unhappy with Bolduc either… but it feels like the Blues are also getting their money's worth. So that's a good thing.
