Ugh.....that'll put 'em over the top....5'9 177lbs. Sounds like more of the physical presence they're lacking...

I think he was always angling to trade his young wing depth for help on the blue line. Then Mikky and Johnsson get hurt and he's left with zero depth on the wing.

This move could be exactly what you say ... or not.

Would love to hear some update on whether Mikky is expected back before the playoffs.

It's possible, I wouldn't rule anything out until Feb 25th.

Malgin plays C, so at least we have an option other than Gauthier on the 3rd line

replaces the size we lost when we traded Moore..

Malgin is a center, which is a good position to have depth at. So, its not that bad of a trade.

Can and does but I think he plays mostly on the right side. F/O% is poop.

can we get over the size thing... we see every (frank)ing game..size means nothing when it comes to actual toughness and level of effort.
- senstroll


At some point, size has to factor in. Actual toughness and level of effort would look alot better and be more effective combined with size. Is this Malgin tough full of piss and vinegar? There's gotta be a reason I've only ever heard of him was when the Leafs played FLA.

This idea that Marincin can keep coming back and playing NHL games really needs to be put to bed. The experiment is over, try something else and show us that there's SOME effort and creativity going into this line up. Marincin just shouldn't be in the conversation anymore. Obviously not their only problem, but ffs just stop playing the guy.

I cant tell you why you havent heard of a player.
Dubas added Clifford. if size and toughness is a concern

But he has to find NHL players to fill in for the injuries now.

Buffalo, Edmonton and Calgary are looking for a top 6 forward.. This means we can move Kerfoot or Kapanen for Ristolainen?
