St. Louis Blues acquire Logan Mailloux

 
















The St. Louis Blues have traded center Zack Bolduc to the Montreal Canadiens for defenseman Logan Mailloux. Mailloux, 22, played 7 games with 2 goals, 2 assists, 4 points, and a -5 in 2024-2025. The games, goals, assists, and points were all career highs for Mailloux.

In the AHL, with Laval Rocket, Mailloux played 63 games with 12 goals, 21 assists, 33 points, and a plus 5. In the playoffs, Mailloux played 13 games with 2 goals, 4 assists, 6 points, and a -7.

Overall, Mailloux has played 2 NHL seasons. Mailloux has played 8 games with 2 goals, 3 assists, 5 points, and a -4. 

Bolduc, 22, played 72 games with 19 goals, 17 assists, 36 points, and a plus 20 in 2024-2025. The games, goals, assists, points, and plus mark were all career highs for Bolduc. 

Overall, Bolduc has played 2 NHL seasons. Bolduc has played 97 games with 24 goals, 21 assists, 45 points, and a plus 20. In the playoffs, Bolduc has played 7 games with 1 assist, 1 point, and a -1. 

The Blues lose a good played in Bolduc, but they get a player who has potential to become better in Mailloux. The Blues also needed a right-handed shooting defenseman. Blues general manager Doug Armstrong thinks that Mailloux can be a top 4 defenseman. It's also good that Blues head coach Jim Montgomery is good at developing younger players. On paper this trade could be good for both teams.
