Well this came out of left field.

Leafs trade Marchment to FLA for Denis Malgin
- Thread starter CarltonTheBear
- Start date
I don't know much about Malgin, and I know Marchment had his fans from his time with the Marlies, but he flat-out sucked in his 4 games with the Leafs. That's hardly a sample size worth entirely judging a guy by but clearly the Leafs were skeptical about his game translating to the NHL like I was.

These numbers seem to indicate he has pretty good defensive results.

We did pretty well in a trade with Florida a few years back for an unheralded player; Hyman for McKegg.
Malgin also showed up last week in @ChartingHockey's list of players who excel at manually tracked stats like shots, shot assists, carry-ins and exits:

So at a time where the Leafs desperately need bottom-6 depth Dubas traded an AHL with a questionable NHL future for a younger player who will likely hit 200 NHL games by the end of the season and has some pretty good numbers in places.

Yay... Another smallish (5'9) offensive forward. Plays center though. Can we unload Gauthier now then too? Pretty please?

I don't understand why Florida makes this trade. Malgin is younger and has shown he can be a reasonably effective NHL player. Marchment, on the other hand, seems a like a quality AHL forward, but nothing more.

Malgin vs. guys he's replacing:
I'm guessing the Leafs originally tried trading Timashov for this guy in a 4th liner swap. Tallon checked how big Timashov was and said no dice so Dubas had to sort players the other way.
Marchment was credited with just 3 hits in 4 games with the Leafs and I don't think any of them were more than just minor body contract plays. That's what I didn't get about his little audition. All he had to do was connect on one big hit, get gif'd, and he would have become an absolute hero to most of this franchise. You'd think an undrafted player who was absolutely amped to finally break into the NHL at the age of 24 would have played with a little more energy.
