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

[CanadienShark]

I like this for the Leafs. It's probably inconsequential, but they got an upgrade.

Strange deal by Tallon, I doubt he has any intentions of helping the Leafs get into the playoffs at his own team's expense. Which leaves me with these thoughts, did he trade Maigin to the Leafs because he thinks it will make them weaker? If so it would be a brilliant GM move if this is what he calculated.

The brilliant move, if any, is Dubas trading Marchment to Florida to make them weaker.

Sheldon Dries has only played one game this season, and he is a buzzsaw (not a finesse player). Mitchell Stephens is more of a penalty killer. Andrew Agozzino is well-rounded and has an edge, though I would rather have someone who could be relied on to fight. Not the greatest examples that you have given.

That being said, the Malgin trade makes sense with Johnsson being out for the remainder of the season.

In addition to Johnsson, Mikheyev is also injured.

This trade also makes sense as one if not two of Kerfoot, Johnsson and Kapanen will be gone this off-season to re-allocate cap space.

Malgin has a great opportunity to run with.

Malgin.

The new hero.

Until Friday.

Malgin.

Until Friday.

Why would you only make him a hero until Friday?

 

[TakeTheBody]

Because he'll play Thursday.

No no no. That's not the narrative!

 

[Leaf Fans]

Because he'll play Thursday.

So, he is your hero?

 

[Leaf Fans]

No no no. That's not the narrative!

Why not?

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Why not?

Only other GM's can make brilliant moves, obviously.

Right, I understand.

 

[TakeTheBody]

So, he is your hero?

No, not my hero. He plays himself out of hero worship on Thursday night. The point is the fan base is tough to please. They love you until they don't.

Can't argue with that.

I don't think you're qualified to use the word "brilliant."

 

[Deuce Awesome]

Seems like we just got another player that we have a saturation of, while trading a player we have an actual need for. I liked what I saw with Marchment, but I guess Clifford is now the token sandpaper guy.

This will help us beat the Bruins for sure.

Neither player is going to make a difference. Neither team seems to really want to make the playoffs either.

Lol.

I agree with the first part.

I don’t think it’s particularly brilliant, it is completely predictable Dubas would trade for a 5’9 170 lb fwd.

 

[Neutral Hockey Fan]

I have to assume Malgin doesn’t play against Pittsburgh tonight. With his defensive “ability” and him being perhaps the softest player in the entire league in the corners and on the boards, a team like the penguins will eat this guy alive, like they have in the past.

There’s no way a nice guy like Keefe will throw a new player to the wolves so quickly, and if he does, maybe Keefe isn’t quite as elite as some would have you believe. I guess we shall see tonight

 

[Coaches Coroner]

Lots of hot takes in here about Denis Malgin, a guy who couldn't put up points on one of the best offenses in the league 2 years in a row. He had every chance to succeed in Florida and failed almost every time short of about 10 games to start this season.

He is soft, weak on the puck but has good vision and can make a decent pass when he doesn't pass it right into a player on the other team. His wirst shot is that of a PeeWee player.

Don't expect much to be honest.

A lot of the hot takes are how terrible the trade is. You're in here telling people who mostly hate the trade, not to expect much...fyi don't expect much from Marchment, unless you're a fan of your AHL affiliate, he might help there.

Thanks for the scouting report. I was wondering why Tallon would trade him. I have a better idea why now.

 

[ijuka]

Malgin is the clearly better player. I don't get why Panthers would do it, especially to their most important playoff rival. Leafs win easily.

it seems to be his modus operandi
...maybe he's thinking smaller players will get squished and perhaps the leafs can get a penalty called for them for a change instead of only against them
