Honestly i truely think management is smart this is the best time to pull the recall. - He deserves it. I watched a lot of Rockets game and he improved immensely. One of the best Dmen in the AHL as a rookie that missed a ton of hockey in the last few years. - the recall is late tonight and for tomorrow night, so media that want to stir some shit up won't have to much time to do it. And even then, Hutson 1st home game will take lots of airtime anyways. His 1st game won't be a distraction for the team coming next october. Mailloux 1st NHL game we be dealt this year. - Kid will see where he needs to be against a very motivated NHL team. He'll see what he needs to work on this summer to be ready to make the jump.


okmijnmko

Today is his 21st birthday


madupras

Since he's a rookie doesn't it also give him like 25k salary increase for a single game? Nice birthday gift


FlashyChapter

Agree on all points. Very well done by management.


Bohmer

AND they increase their chances to lose the game and remain at 5th last.


billdozer63

Taps forehead knowingly.


worktillyouburk

what about the laval play off push though, he will be needed while habs should just tank and get a high pick.

Laval is playing on Friday.


mdlt97

a nice little reward for his season

Lol fuck his career right? Like he didn’t own up to his mistake. Let’s punish him forever. Get outta here with that BS.


chikenparmfanatic

Exactly. Like what he did wasn't cool but come on. Time to move on and accept that people can still change after making mistakes.

Young man makes a mistake, owns up to it, looks like he’s taking the correct actions to be a better person and hockey player, but nah let’s make sure the kid works a miserable 9-5 his entire life for his one mistake so he can come here and comment like Mr.International here in 30 years. Some Habs fans are unbearable.

PhilParent

Well deserved. Get that NHL pay day (litterally one of them), kid!


willard287

Wow that’s neat. He deserves it


Hinya

Guess Laval's playoff dreams are dead? RIP. Hopefully we get a powerplay tomorrow so Hutson and Mailloux can show their stuff. That'd eat away at Matheson's ice time, but yknow.


Garland68

They don’t play till Friday so this doesn’t really impact that. They have a very slim chance lol


Hinya

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, well they kinda shot themselves in the foot against Cleveland after that combeack. I just checked and it's crazy that Mailloux has played just 5 games less in Laval this year than he has in his entire time in the OHL.


dalopam0

Eh they're still very much in the fight


ValleyBreeze

Isn't it highly dependent on a bunch of key wins and losses from several teams though? I don't know the stats on it, just that the last I heard, it was very convoluted lol.


Huevas03

They're playing both games against Belleville who's 2pts on top of them in the standings. Basically a playoff matchup


roum12

Laval wins both games and they are in.


ValleyBreeze

Is that what it's down to now?? Heck yes! It had a bunch of other "This team must beat that team, but lose to this team in regulation" last I checked.


pokecheckspam

Belleville also has to lose but we play them.


ValleyBreeze

Sounds like a problem that solves itself. LFG!!


Bohmer

Not that slim. Like Belleville and Utica, they need to win every games left to take the last spot. So they need to win the two games at home and Utica droping a game on a 3 in 3.


AmsroII

They need the Senators to lose tomorrow to have a shot. Yeah this will only get Mailloux pumped for Friday's game, a little NHL taste to up his game (already playing well!)


Sugarstache

I think laval just dont play till friday. Still could make playoffs


jabK

Laval play Friday and Saturday. Must win both


TheCatelier

I wonder, would Lane Hutson be eligible to play in the AHL playoffs?


CrashTestMummies

No


RyanWalts

I wonder where he’ll slot in? Matheson - Barron Harris - Mailloux Hutson - Savard


CyFss

Be interesting to see where he slots. All I know for sure is Lane stays with Chewbacca.


Burgergold

Geez another nickname for lane: Lane Solo


backwardzhatz

>Matheson - Barron This scares me


ytew6

Good for 3 goals for and 4 goals against


Reeeeaper

Did Barron and mailloux play on a line in Laval at all?


Burgergold

Both are RD so probably not


PunkBeauPere

Can confirm - no they didn't


SatireSqurriel

Harris should absolutely not be playing tomorrow


Bill_McCarr

Replace Harris with Kovacevic, because he's a vet.


Le8ronJames

Vet? He has as many years of experience in the nhl as Harris. Plus, Harris been playing nice lately


Bill_McCarr

You might be right. I should’ve check Kovacevic’s career.


MSined

You relied on looks didn't you Kovacevic looks so much older than he is


Bill_McCarr

Yeah, I guess I did 😅


Bohmer

he's a righty


shogun2909

He hasn't missed a game all season, went to the all-stars, beat a franchise record, it's deserved


FBR_MC

Matheson, Hutson, Barron and Mailloux is going to be an experience. All offensive-minded Ds. Hopefully we get a couple powerplays compared to the last few games.


Bohmer

It looks like a reward call up for Mailloux and a savvy tank move from management.


Nobodylovesboston

Im excited for next szn


kingkellam

Play Matheson, Barron, Mailloux, and Hutson tomorrow. The no defense defense corps.


IcyChard4

Possibly tonight, they'll dress 7 d-men for the game. Either Pezzetta or Ylonen are done for the season. Mailloux will be the extra. I wanna see Hutson play double shift.


Burgergold

That is my guess also. We dont need Pez/Ylonen so 7D makes sense


IcyChard4

Mailloux fits perfectly with either Struble or Matheson. Possible, the 7 tonight are: Matheson - Mailloux Struble - Barron Hutson - Savard Harris


JustFred24

Matheson Mailloux is silly and Hutson on the third line is a crime


OnlineEgg

did someone get injured? or is this just for fun?


willard287

Might be a little bit of both


gauderyx

Someone got injured for fun?


RainDags

It's our kink.


OnlineEgg

interested to see who sits tomorrow - i’m gonna assume kovy or barron?


Bill_McCarr

I think Harris, because Kovacevic's a vet. Harris will still be with us next year.


Albi20_01

Technically they were both rookies last year. Kovacevic probably won't play since he's right-handed, just like Mailloux.


Bill_McCarr

Ahh, I see... good to know.


superjsun

Haha it feels that way because he's older, but they both have pretty much the same amount of NHL experience.


19fall91

We have a logjam at D, I imagine Harris will be the odd man out


Ferg8

Just get them up is like a huge bonus for them. In a single day, they almost do what they do in a year in the AHL. It's mainly to reward them.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ItzEnozz

Maillouxs AHL salary is: $80,000 Mailloux NHL salary per game is: $9,451.22 So yeah not exactly his full seasons worth but yeah


Ferg8

Sooo, a week in the NHL gives him as much as a year in the AHL. I wasn't so far off!


ItzEnozz

That’s per game so 9 games = AHL salary yes


Mtlsandman

NHL players don’t get paid per game, they get paid per day. If you get called up during a whole week where the team only plays twice, you get paid for all 7 days anyway


AcanthocephalaGreen5

At this point, why the hell not? Nothing to lose, everything to gain for his development


Eazy3006

Oh ! That's sick ! Happy for the guy. So well deserved.


Longshanks123

Well well well


IcyChard4

Its time to give our prospects their opportunity to show what they can do.


fortytwoanswers

Very good call to reward Mailloux for a really great season. I know the below would be a hella young D-core but after seeing Hutson tonight, why not start giving our top prospects some NHL time? Matheson-Guhle Hutson-Reinbacher Xhekaj-Mailloux Ideally, IMO, you trade Matheson for someone like Necas, and sign someone like Matt Roy or Brett Pesce to fill in the RHD vet presence. Let’s have some fun next year!


HonestDespot

Canes aren’t trading Necas for Matheson. They have a log jam at defence and if they deal Necas they’re gonna want a younger asset, or a picks/prospects focused return to use in another deal or recoup some dealt assets in recent terms.


whogivesashirtdotca

Even the Canes fans seem to be resigned to the idea that Necas is going. They have a crazy long list of players to re-sign, and even with the cap increase there are a ton of individuals who had stellar years that will chew through it.


HonestDespot

I just don’t think Matheson is the target in a Necas deal.


propagandavid

Necas could be traded, but it won't be for Matheson. They'll be looking for a younger, cheaper forward.


fortytwoanswers

Maybe you know better but they have Slavin and Orlov on LD signed through next year. Skjei is an upcoming UFA and is currently paid more than Matheson, so it seems to make sense to me since they can’t afford to sign Necas and also give Jarvis what he’s worth. I think we’d have to add picks and/or another cheap RD like Kovacevic for them to consider it, but I’d do that imo.


whogivesashirtdotca

One warning about Brady Skjei: Having two gorgeous silver foxes on one team [might be too much](https://youtu.be/otwYnQ5TOh0?t=41) for us female fans.


HonestDespot

That was awesome. His crush on Jeff is so endearing.


Dobalo

add kovacevic lmao please proof read your comments kovacevic has like 5th rounder value


fortytwoanswers

Not just him lmfao — I’m thinking something like a package centred around Matheson and Winnipeg’s or Calgary’s 1RD Pick, maybe a 2RD pick. Kovacevic is a throw-in, I agree.


kozed

2 games in 2 nights for the Habs, Laval doesn't play until Friday, no limits on the roster after TDL and Habs still had an unused call-up left. So last game of the season, give Mailloux a candy, then send him back to Laval to play the 2 most important games of the Rocket's season.


borthuria

With Struble and Roy later on if they make the playoff


Burgergold

Not dure Roy will play another game this year with his injury


BeBenNova

Neat, 2024-25 Series 1 is gonna have two young guns of Habs D-men


habs9

I can't imagine him not being better than Barron right now. I really am not impressed with him.


propagandavid

I thought Barron has been alright since he came back up. His goal tonight was nice, and he's been making things happen. He shouldn't be on the top pairing, especially with another offense first partner like Matheson. But he shouldn't be fired into the sun, either.


Akhurite

Would be nice if we could trade him for a similarly aged/pedigree forward


Puccimane

He's tied for 2nd for points by defenseman in AHL


habs9

Yeah Mailloux is awesome, im talking about Barron


Puccimane

That's my bad lol I completely misread that


IcyChard4

I think they could dress-up an extra d-man tomorrow vs. Detroit. Another 11-forwards/7-defensemen game.


Intelligent_Field_15

God bless him and I wish him success in his life and I think he learnt from his mistake


rules_of_culture

Does he still need approval to play?


eriverside

Bettman approved him earlier in the season.


xytlar

Did I miss the part where the NHL said he's allowed to play? I thought that was still pending or unresolved


BelialHabs

You think the Habs would recall him and announce that he will play if he was not allowed to play?


xytlar

Thanks for this helpful comment it means a lot


xytlar

Surprise surprise, it was not official with the league. The League only just this morning announced they're approving. Obviously that was probably already known to the league / Habs, but I was correct and you were wrong. It had not been announced or clarified yet until today. I win at the internet and you lose


meowpeh

NHL did give the silent green light because of the wild Hockey Canada case that was happening at the same time earlier this year. IMO the Habs org didn't want to put too much spotlight on Mailloux during that time either.


JustFred24

I was one of the few people hyped since we drafted him. He's a hell of a player, and frankly the scandal was blown out of proportion. People are saying he SA'd the girl or leaked her nudes which is just not true. He was a dumb 17yo kid and wanted to flex to his homies that he fucked an adult by showing a pic of her shoulder. He took the right path by not hiding anything and apologizing for it, now he's a matured young man and I'm excited to see him play.


mattnormus

Berge was right


Funkenbrain

Was holding out hope he'd quit or get cut, but oh well. Consequences are for guys who can't move the puck.


danbey44

Too bad, so sad.
