Confirmed with Link: [TOR/FLA] Denis Malgin for Mason Marchment

[MarMarSab3]

Imagine if you will...

If it were Malkin and not Malgin lol

 

[Cor]

Maybe this means Bracco is on his way out?

 

[TheBeastCoast]

why? we already have spezza, gauthier, engvall and kerfoot for the 3C and 4C role.

Because our bottom 6 sucks probably

 

[SprDaVE]

Anyone got the book on this guy? Mason wasn't cutting it at the NHL level but was surely doing fine in the AHL no?

Perhaps sign of bigger things to come?

Fast skater that's dealt with some injuries. A lot of NHL experience already.

Marchment was also always injured and his skating really will hold him back.

 

[dubplatepressure]

Interesting that Malgin played with Mathews in Zurich.

 

[The Masters]

Need D-men

 

[Walshy7]

below average 4th liner with 4 career games 6'4"
average 4th liner who could possibly have the skill to be a 3rd liner 185 career games 5'9"

"BuT WhaT aBut Da GrittZz"
"oOMpA LoomPA LaNd"

5’9 forward.... good one Dubas

 

[LeafingTheWay]

I remember Malgin because it always sounds like they're saying Malkin

No winner, no loser in this trade IMO. Just a whatever move to acquire a NHL player rather than an AHL player in Marchment with potential to be in the NHL. If anything, this might signify that a trade for our bottom-6 forwards is coming.

Hawrlyuk was on waivers a few days ago but was picked up by Ottawa right away ... Would have been nice to have a super energetic forward like that (similar to T.Moore) that can play C.

 

[al secord]

Played with Matthews in Zurich

Who hasn't?

Looks like Dubas was pissed he was forced into taking some size. He needed to make this pint sized deal.

 

[SprDaVE]

It actually matters a lot when you want to build a roster that can play a diversified game in a supposed playoff drive. Like someone who can attack on a forecheck with speed and size to turn defensemen on a trap around to recover a puck. But let’s not actually talk about hockey tactics when we can talk about skill vs size dichotomies.

But that doesn't change anything as to gaining a NHL player versus a non-NHL player, right? That's what happened. We've had almost zero scoring depth in these past couple weeks. I think they were hoping Aberg could get hot or provide some scoring a little bit but that didn't work out so I think they wanted to add speed and some skill.

We just acquired Clifford, inserted Engvall and Korshkov over the past couple weeks. We even tried out Marchment too. Pretty sure our problem isn't size or physicality too much.

 

[Sniper99]

Some depth that's cool as Marchment wasn't cutting it

He didnt play a lot of games. Jesus no wonder guys get run out of town here so fast. I guess people dont know what patience is

Marchment was up with the leafs and didn't have speed to go with the size and limited upside. Malgin actually has NHL potential

 

[Marshy]

Marchment wasn't going to amount to anything with us not on a Dubas team.

Malgin is interesting let's give him a chance maybe he gets a shot to Center the 3rd line here.

 

[thewave]

High Tower.

I have a bigger smile now than even Dubas. I just love this guy and my new outlook on Leafs fan life. I am so happy

Lol what? Marchment is not NHL ready..Malgin is, and can play center or wing. Its surprising Florida did us this favour.

 

[Dreakmur]

If this guy works his ass off and competes hard, it can’t hurt.

 

[Blueboy]

An absolute nothing move.

 

[LeafingTheWay]

Yeah ... Can't believe he was force to play Muzzin, Clifford, Korkshov, Engvall, Gauthier in his lineup.

 

[Anthrax442]

Our center depth sucks, since Kerfoot is used at wing.

 

[ULF_55]

Shoots right.

5'9", 177 lbs.

Strange fellow that Dubas is.

Denis Malgin Bio (From NHL.com)

The Swiss forward, a natural center, showed his versatility in 2017-18 by spending time as a wing. He finished with 22 points (11 goals, 11 assists) in his second NHL season. Ten of his 11 goals either tied the game or gave the Florida Panthers the lead. His first goal came on Nov. 28, when he scored with 1:09 remaining in the third period to give the Panthers a 5-4 victory against the New York Rangers on Nov. 28.

Malgin was selected by the Panthers in the fourth round (No. 102) of the 2015 NHL Draft. He was 19 when he made his NHL debut on Oct. 13, 2016, in Florida's season-opener against the New Jersey Devils and got his first NHL point, an assist, two nights later against the Detroit Red Wings. He scored his first NHL goal against the Boston Bruins on Nov. 1, 2016, and finished his rookie season with 10 points (six goals, four assists) in 47 games.

He has represented Switzerland in international tournaments from 2015 through 2017 and was named to the 2015 IIHF World U-18 Championship All-Star Team.

 

[Papa Cherry]

Marchment was nothing special so why not

 

[lipstickjunkie]

[thewave]
