Utility player who can be clutch. Think Pascal Rheaume or Joel Kiviranta.
Not an NHLer however, so this is moot. Back in Europe after a month.

How quick are forgetting that Denis Malgin was playing in the top 6 a year ago.

Denis has a tier of skill that Jere doesn't. If Anton Levtchi wasn't good enough... It will take amazing chemistry for Jere to stick. He is not half the player Anton is. Could happen, but I would be surprised.
Watched Innala from juniors. Nice that he gets a chance. Still don´t feel he has the strengths to become NHL regular. I think the camp is important for him. Fight to get a proper look. If he has good camp it can be roughly ten games. If not it will be around 3 games.
I guess if I would be Colorado supporter I would rather give extendion for Kiviranta who can be depth player. But in all honesty I see them both in Europe in 2025-2026

Malgin is probably the best player in the Swiss league. This guys is a middle 6er in Sweden. He’ll be lucky to maintain that in the AHL.

If this guy ends up a top 6 forward for us, might as well sell Nate and Cale.

I actually was quite fond of Malgin's time with the Avs. I mean, he replaced Dryden Hunt. Who amongst us can't say that wasn't an upgrade?

good luck for him. hope he can find some chemistry with Foudy and help the eagles a bit. until he bolts back to Europe after 3 months.

I was going to say something about Kiviranta being one of our better bottom sixers against the Stars, then I looked at Natural Stat Trick and everyone, I do mean everyone, in our bottom six got caved in, with only Duhaime above 40% xGF% (at 40.4%).lol dude cant cut it even as Kiviranta replacement? damn
Even with the upgrades to forward depth compared to the loss against Seattle, we were well off the pace against Dallas's depth

Losing LOC was a huge blow to our bottom six. He's better than either Duhaime or Trenin. I look at it like getting Duhaime was an attempt to replace LOC as best we could and Trenin was brought in to knock Foudy, Wagner, Tufte, Kivi down a rung. Honestly, the best thing he did was hit people and bring some of that hard nose edge that is needed. I'd keep him for the fourth line if we weren't so cap strapped.
