At the Canadiens' golf tournament on Monday, Jeff Gorton hypothetically confirmed that Logan Mailloux would have the green light to play in the NHL when he's ready. I use these words because there was a certain caution in Gorton's remarks. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/renlavoietva/status/1701217887837368641?t=MwxhRKs9-b6xuOnXo7smyw&s=19'> </a></blockquote></div> Renaud Lavoie dug a little deeper and put the question to Bill Daly himself. The answer is quite convincing. <q>I asked Bill Daly what his impressions were of his meeting with Logan Mailloux in July. We (the NHL) had a good, frank discussion. In the context of that meeting with him, Logan impressed us. - Renaud Lavoie</q> The ball is now in Mailloux's court. The young defenseman will first have to prove that he belongs in the NHL with his on-ice performances. Having played little hockey in recent years, it would be very surprising if Mailloux didn't start the season in Laval. Especially given the current congestion on the Habs' blue line. However, we're not immune to a surprise, and if there's one prospect who can cause a stir, it's him. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/renlavoietva/status/1701958222913867951?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1701958222913867951%7Ctwgr%5E65430521b6044e65a987ca05288aacc1424360bc%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.habsetlnh.com%2FInterdiction-en-vigueur-pour-Logan-Mailloux-de-jouer-dans-la-LNH-declaration-de-derniere-minute-de-Bill-Daly-275517'> </a></blockquote></div>
