Goodbye Geno Malgin. We hardly knew ye.

 

[stickty111]

Sure I guess. After a good start, he really tailed off. Good luck to him

 

[TheDoldrums]

idk, I don't think we really need more defense at the expense of offense but obviously there will be more moves at some point

 

[LeafChief]

I'll fondly remember Malgin-mania.

 

[The Podium]

This is going to be a polarizing move

Do the Dubas haters support getting bigger?

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Malgin wasn't exactly a fan favourite, but at least he brought an element to the bottom 6 that was missing. A player like Hunt is the last thing the team needed

 

[1specter]

Lol, thus ends a very controversial chapter of Dubas' time as GM.

 

[Kelly]

Confusing trade. Figured we'd be looking to add more offensive depth and not deduct from it.

But it's only Malgin, not really a huge loss.

 

[Martin Skoula]

End of an era.

Hunt seems like a better mix for the bottom six, good defensively, takes the body and will drop the gloves.

Hunt sucks but I imagine there's something else at play here..they've either got something else lined up or they want to give another guy internally a chance (Steeves is a good candidate for example)

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Uhhh ok

good luck to denis, it would be comedic if he went and put up 50 points with Colorado

 

[SprDaVE]

This seems like a loss to give Malgin a fresh start.

Dryden Hunt is basically another ZAR. Low skill but good defensively and hits.

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

This seems like one of those ones where Malgin finally stops hitting posts and makes us look really silly the rest of the year (Grabner curse).

I don't get why we needed Hunt. We have a lot of these guys with the Marlies waiting to get in.

Not sure anyone has any issues with changing up the bottom of the 22 man roster.....but Colorado must see something they like in Malgin.

Hunt sucks but I imagine there's something else at play here..they've either got something else lined up or they want to give another guy internally a chance (Steeves is a good candidate for example)

Then it would've made sense to get back a mid-late round pick/prospect, not a terrible roster player. Oh well, I guess we'll see what happens. Dubas seems to love defensive only players, like Nash and ZAR

 

[leafsfan5]

our entire bottom 6 is already comprised of low event players who can't score

Not that Malgin had much value but still wierd trade. At least Hunter adds physical play and defence so thats something.
All though something tells me unlike the Timmins trade, we aren't winning this one

 

[LeafChief]

I would have liked to just open the roster spot rather than taking on Hunt. I'll admit I dont know much of anything about Hunt.

Huh? lol

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Meh. Malgin sucks. Call up Steeves now.

Depth forward for depth forward. I don't think the Leafs would have received more than this, that's the thing.

he's basically a defense only forward

 

[Buds17]

Preferable to potentially losing Malgin on waivers for no return? This ultimately feels like a 'meh' transaction.
