‘I don’t think it’s that big of a deal because I’m still here, but to be honest, I want to be paired with the best players every day.’
Hats off to Mailloux for his honesty, and for his response to the situation. Instead of simply expressing his disagreement with the decision, he wants to take action to improve his own situation.

It must be admitted that Justin Barron had a significant advantage, simply due to his contract situation.
