Should have traded for Jake Allen, he’d stop all those cross crease tap ins.

At least that’s what his stats say.

its mind blowing why FLA would ever do this
- Lucas.Neilson


because it makes a small, soft, easy to play against team...smaller, softer, and easier to play against.

Probably because neither player will make either team any harder to catch. Leafs likely just wanted a body cuz Johnson is out long term. Panthers know malgin, and know having him on the Leafs poses no threat.
Don't overthink it....just junk for junk.

"Mind blowing"???
it's a depth NHL player for a career AHL'er who will play the odd NHL game.
in my opinion the Leafs win this trade slightly, but it is surely not a Kerfoot for Seth Jones type of trade...

so the two teams chasing each other for 3rd spot in the Atlantic make a trade...

1 NHL player
4
1 AHL player

just odd!

Yeah, it's a slight win for Dubas.. Leafs get some C depth, which was needed.

Also, Malgin will be an RFA, Florida probably thinks he wants a lot of $$

nic petan 2 imo.

not sure why finding the next tyler ennis is on the top of the things to do list.

grabbing a veteran winger would made more sense imo.

Probably because it cost them literally nothing to grab a guy who can play bottom 6 minutes without being brutally caved in when he plays the lowest level of NHL competition? I had higher hopes for Marchment, but in his 4 game audition, he did not look like he could handle NHL competition. It's only 4 games, and he's only 24, but he sure isn't there right now.

Marchment is 24, Malgin is 23 and plays C in the NHL.. It helps our bottom 6.
