Recalled/Assigned: Mason Marchment back to the Marlies

[notbias]

This thread is worth a bump. It was approximately one month after this thread that the Leafs traded Marchment for Malgin and provides insights into Leafs fans opinions of Marchment's potential at the time.

I see some people who are very vocal about Marchment over Malgin here..... haha

Back to AHL school for him.

$70k isn't a horrible salary, probably gets a raise this year in the AHL, maybe gets to 6 digits.

Most people have to work, so if he loves hockey, he's doing something he loves.

Ever wish you could work in a job where one good year gets you a 40x raise?

You have to feel good for a guy plugging away and earning a big contract at his age. It's unfortunate we traded him, but much like Florida even if he exploded here we couldn't afford him after.

So now we are allowed to bump old threads?

Matched mine. He was garbage for us and showed nothing.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Whoa. What year is this?

 

[Rude Dog]

That is a brilliant bump given recent conversations. Can do the same for lily and robertson but time to move forward

 

[LeafChief]

yup Agostino should have been the one to be called up if they wanted a gritty player

nice of Shanny to give his buddy's kid a shot but Marchment is not even close to being a 4th line player and the chance he'll ever develop into one at his age is extremely low , he's basically a mediocre career AHLer at best

Oh my god. This is so incredibly rich.

if you would have asked , i would told you what i thought of Marchment as a prospect and saved you the time from searching my posts from almost 3 yrs ago , lol

good on the kid for proving me wrong which means absolutely nothing to him but the funny thing is i wasn't the one who traded him for the great Evegeni Malgin

The thread was bumped. I loved reading your wisdom from 2 years ago, Nostradamus. Nice of Shanny to give is buddies kid a shot, though!

I hope people don't lock this. It's pretty interesting. When you see the date on the original post it really isn't that long ago. Some earlier posts are extremely definitive. Imagine being Marchment and reading this thread...would feel so good.

I mean he only makes 4.5 million and was 3rd in the league in even strength points. We could have in theory signed Marchment+Lindgren for less then trading for Murray+ keeping Engvall.

Thats true. That contract was a bit of a risk based on a small sample size but it is starting to seem like he might live up to it and then some.

You could find similar threads/posts trashing basically every one of our prospects. Heck you could find our future HoFers being abused the same way.

Guess it makes some people feel better when they insult others.
