Mailloux’s game still needs some work but he made some really important progress at the AHL level over the last year and a half and he had a really strong rookie season all told, finishing with 47 points in 72 games, and rookie follow-up last year with 39 points in 76 combined regular-season and playoff games while trying to put a great emphasis on buttoning down defensively and cutting down on his mistake-prone game. He has made more progress in decision-making, but last year still had some real ups and downs in first-pairing minutes for Laval (up from 20 per game as a rookie to over 21 last year), which will serve him well in the future. Though his early defensive results in the NHL were predictably a little poor, he did show his offensive presence in his very small sample of games with the Habs as well.
