The Montreal Canadiens became a Cinderella story of sorts with an improbable run to the Stanley Cup Final just a few weeks ago. They did it on the last remaining bits of Shea Weber, and the willpower of Carey Price.
And they just threw all of that goodwill out the window with one selection in the NHL Draft.
Logan Mailloux is an absolutely indefensible pick for the Canadiens, least of all because there were higher-ranked players, or others that fit areas of need. It’s indefensible because Mailloux does not deserve the right to put on the Montreal sweater and get that honour.
