Confirmed with Link: Leafs bring back Malgin on a 1 year deal, $750k

[Leafsfan74]

I stayed here for the last 2 hours refreshing 10 browsers on 4 monitors for denis f***ing malgin

LOL. Post of the UFA "Frenzy".

 

[keonsbitterness]

it's possible that they had entirely forgotten about molgin in the alps until they heard the marchment signing and remembered, oh yea, remmeber that disastrous trade, who was the other player involved? and then reached out to malqin.

I heard Malgin was trapped on a mountain and we sent over a St. Bernard to dig him out.

 

[PromisedLand]

oh i cannot wait till this joke of a GM is FIRED

RICOLA!!! RICOLA!!

Sorry but no faith in a guy who is only 2" taller than my mother and 0.3ppg in NHL.

Fairly confident your Mom could win a puck battle vs Malgin

 

[Racer88]

What a waste of time……Dubas and Shanny can’t be fired soon enough.
Free agent day for the Leafs this year has to be the laughing stock of the league

 

[Buds17]

Hoping he returns as an improved player. Have to imagine that an opportunity will be there for the taking.

 

[mcleex]

Like how pathetic is it that this GM wasted time entertaining this signing on free agency day

He thinks he sees something in this player like he found a hidden gem it's actually beyond pathetic I can't even let it go

Oh and the guy we had that he originally trades for this bum just signed a 4 year 4.5M AV contract. Has this hidden gem Malgin even made 4.5 in his entire pathetic career

Have faith the GM has found us one heck of a gem

 

[Smif]

Can Malgin play C?

 

[notbias]

I haven't seen so many people upset with a Leaf signing since Kampf.

 

[ShaneFalco]

It's just a rotation of players hoping one will stick now and then. The actual team needs come second

Love the strategy, personally. Bunting and Kampf are the reasons why.

Yeah next year both are unaffordable

 

[All Mod Cons]

Love the strategy, personally. Bunting and Kampf are the reasons why.

But there were 20 something that failed. So we go for volume instead of quality. Now, after this season we're likely to lose Bunting. So we're down to one. It's a crazy way to go about things.

Also, for some of the ones that don't pan out, we actually have to lose assets to go back to square one. Such a strange plan.

 

[Smif]

Nah, next year with Muzzin's full NTC changing to a 10 team NTC it will be a better time to move him, plus Kerfoot will be off the books and the cap should rise again steadily in the upcoming years.

doombas has said the lineup is wide open. at this point regular dudes off the street might get PTOs

 

[ShaneFalco]

Yeah he'll have to earn it I'm sure

 

[Tak7]

Reading between the lines, the Malgin & Gaudette moves really indicate to me that they have very little faith in having any help pushing from the Marlies to the big club in camp.

 

[Gabriel426]

I really think Dubas wanted Malkin and thought he signed him to a great deal.

 

[CanHeDoIt99]

If you're someone who sees this - thinks it's bad and spends time complaining about it, you need to go out and touch grass, maybe take a nap, or eat something.

If hes developed more and shows well at camp/somehow finds a fit on a line he will likely he in the lineup and be useful depth. If he isnt hes AHL bound with no cap hit.

Literally zero downside. Chill out.

Who do you have faith in? Robertson maybe on the 4th line... Anderson maybe on the 4th line... that's about it.

This is soo 3-4 years ago

I have faith in none of them. I'm no pro scout, and there's posters here who watched the Marlies far more than I did.

But when I did watch them, rarely did any of them look like they belonged in the NHL or that they could be knocking on the NHL door in a few months time.

Robertson at least looks like he has the tools, but didn't look like he belonged during his brief NHL cameo last year.

Those Lou/Hunter drafts + this regime trading away so many picks, is really hurting them now.

A closer look shows less depth on the R side for competition, where both these guys play.
I’m more confident about mixing and matching than you might be. But there’s 5 Marlies pushing for a couple jobs before these two - and then any more adds - which should improve the competition.
