Tribute Denis Malgin

  • Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
He doesn't appear to have much hidden upside. He can skate, pass, shoot, has some hands, can play the body and is willing to engage. He just hasn't impacted the game very much outside his shift last night where he pasted two Ducks. That put life into the game. Then Clifford came out the next shift and he had a big hit and fight. We need him to bring more down the stretch.
 
He’s exactly what we don’t need on this team. Also a terrible example of a player built from within the system, Marchment, who may not be NHL caliber yet but has grinded and done everything asked of him to earn a spot then we ship him away for an underperformer who immediately jumps into a roster spot. What does that say to the guys in our system who have put in years of work to be there?

Korshkov has so much more of what we need and he did more in 1 game then Malgin did in 7. Yuck.
 
Just dont think he is a smart enough player to play in the top 6, would work better playing preferably in the bottom 6
 
This guy sucks. Makes absolutely no impact out there. Don't know how he's still in the lineup let alone the top 6. A poor man's Nic Petan.

He's a warm body, placeholder type

Basically it was a stuff for stuff trade and we got the better player who's not much of a player, I'd say he's a little meh for a bigger worse meh
 
Not a fan, you have Bracco in the minors and won't give the guy whos a longtime marlie and been pretty good player a chance because he's said to be small, weak, defensively lazy and "more of the same" when Malgin does not provide anything different.

Ok if your reason to not give Bracco is for size, defence or experience then I understand Engvall, Korshkov,etc but to bury him until Malgin is questionable. A lot of our players have played with Bracco a lot, makes more sense to play him with familiar faces then to take Malgin who was booted out of town and traded from a team that is competing with us.

Who knows Bracco passing to Robertson on PP2 in a couple of years might be a thing.
 
You could remove Malgin and Gauthier off the roster and add Korshkov and Agostino and be better for it IMO.

Nylander, Engvall, Moore, Johnsson, Kapanen, Sandin, Liljegren, Holl, Hyman, Timashov are all guys who worked themselves up from the Marlies and won roster spots. I don't think trading Marchment says anything important to anyone important.

Besides, he's 25. How much runway does he have left to become an NHL player?

He to me is the definition of meh.he plays, looks like nothing special, doesn't play, don't really notice him being out

He looks like another petan or aberg, so I don't really know what he is doing in the lineup when he is, much rather have:

Nylander - Tavares - Engvall
Hyman - Matthews - marner
Clifford - kerfoot - Kapanen
Gauthier - spezza - korshkov
