They got a guy who can play in the NHL for one who can't.
Confirmed with Link: [TOR/FLA] Denis Malgin for Mason Marchment

I do think Dubas has had good timing with these deals. He answers each big loss with a roster boost. Tough year for injuries. Hopefully Malgin can produce with this assortment of players. I do hope this move plays a role, even if a small one in the Leafs beating out the Panthers.

This is untrue. He was a regular right away...had 8 points in 22 games (or something like that) at times even playing in a top6 role until Gallant got fired. Even after that he had good stretches where he played very well even in a top6 role. The Panthers also demoted and scratched McCann...is he a bad player because of it? Rowe and Boughner are clueless grade a morons and Quenneville for some reason just never really liked Malgin. Gallant's firing really hurt Malgin's career big time.
You're talking about the Panthers as though they aren't 2 points behind us in the standings.

And a 2 year older Mason Marchment is the definition of one? I'll go for the one who has played 180 NHL games and just turned 23, thanks.
So much whining for no reason. This wasn't meant to solve anything other than depth.
To those who rail against Dubas and his supposed love affair with small players may I introduce you to: Muzzin, Clifford, Ceci, Mikheyev, Engvall.
To those who say the Leafs are nothing but smurfs because of his acquisitions: from Wheeler in today's Athletic, "But first, let’s get some misnomers out of the way: The Leafs aren’t small. Their average weight of 199 pounds ranks in a tie for 12th in the NHL. Their average height of 6-foot-1 ranks in a tie for 11th."
Has Marchment's development stalled? Might Malgin be a good fit with the Leaf's? I don't know. Perhaps allowing both fellas a chance to prove the outcome of this trade might be a good idea.

I agree. That's what I said in my original post - see above (blue font). I was agreeing with a poster (Doldrum) that said: "We traded an AHL player for a NHL player."
Nice post.
Sounds like he could fit our system well. Sounds like his strength of skating and smarts will make him a useful player for Keefe.
What is your opinion?

There's only one reason why two teams battling head to head for a single playoff spot make a trade: each team thinks they've committed robbery. Malgin's an offensive talent who isn't producing on a team that really could use some 3rd line scoring. Marchment's a lead-footed gamer who has scored 8 goals in his past 5 AHL games but hasn't looked all that good at the NHL level. The truth is that this transaction is probably going to have about as much impact as the Petan-Lindholm deal.

No idea. But if you look at his stats then he always was a very streaky player. So if he could find consistency then he'd be a very good player. He has all the tools. He just never really found his role in Florida ever since Gallant left. They didn't want to give him a top6 role on a consistent basis and they prefer plugs for the bottom six. Like mentioned before they also scratched and demoted Jared McCann. In my view the organization was at least part of the problem.

186 some games played in the NHL.
Thats what qualifies you as one.
Much better then someone who had a shot and simply folded.
MM didnt hit anything, couldnt keep up with the speed of the game and didnt really do anything of any note. Not even a check that would make Muzzin smile. Anything is better then that by and large

No. The reason why the Panthers traded Malgin was that his agent asked for it.
The Panthers did nothing but to do a very well liked player a solid after he always gave his all for the organization in many ways.
Why they traded him to Toronto is a different question. Maybe Tallon somehow liked Marchment...could be his type of guy.
