Leafs Acquire Malgin for Marchment

So Marchment was clearly just being showcased eh.

Boomers are going to snapshow. Another midget.
 
Considering Marchment is garbage, I don't hate the value they got here. Strong defensively with decent talent. Could be a nice goat replacement.
 
4th liner for a guy that hasn't looked like he can be a 4th liner at 24 years of age. Kinda insignificant but yeah, people are mad at Kyle.
 
interesting pickup. florida fans were super high on malgin when he first came up as a 19yr old 3yrs ago, after he was near ppg at 19 and 20 in the AHL.

this might actually be a good case of a guy whose expectations got out of whack and so he became a disappointment when really he's been pretty good at ages 19-22 in a depth role with poor linemates, though his production has dipped this year at 22 after 2 solid 3rd line type production years age 20 and 21.

Age 19: C- qoc, 0.83ap/60, 49.6cf% (+0.1relT), 44.9xgf% (-2.4relT)
Age 20: B qoc, 1.39ap/60, 50.6cf% (+1.5relT), 48.4xgf% (-0.6relT)
Age 21: C qoc, 1.39ap/60, 51.0cf% (+1.7relT), 47.4xgf% (-1.2relT)
Age 22: C qoc, 0.92ap/60, 52.0cf% (+2.7relT), 45.4xgf% (-1.4relT)

So he's faced solid 3rd line comp, not just 4th line fodder minutes. The production was legit 3rd line level the previous 2yrs, but has dropped off this year. The corsis are always solid. But he's been a bit underwater in terms of xgf%.

Dialling in on the xgf, it looks like the discrepancy with cf comes from the offensive side, not the defensive side. Where as he's a positive both offensively and defensively by corsi, he's only a positive defensively by xgf - so he's not been a guy on the ice for many quality scoring chances for his team.

(negative relative numbers are bad for offense, good for defense)

Xgf/60 relT: -0.2, -0.1, -0.4, -0.2
xga60 relT: 0.0, -0.1, -0.3, -0.2

so consistently good in terms of quality scoring chances against, but not so good on the offensive end.


the big question for me is whether he can actually play center or not.

It's a minor deal but this seems like a no brainer to me.

well marchment is useless so it's a free add.

malgin has been a decent 3rd liner on what people have said is a good team in florida for the last few years at ages 19-22. he has legit struggled this year, but who knows why. we'll see if he's any good.

hopefully it gets goat out of the lineup.
 
5% Shooting percentage this year, 9% in the last 2 years with a 1.38 P/60 rate. Worst than Goat, comparable to Trevor Moore and Connor Brown.

On-ice s% has been 7.3% though, Goat's at 9.6% so probably comparable to Goat overall.
 
Twitter acting like Dubas made this trade to fix the teams' problems. Not every fucking trade is an attempted home run, dumbasses. "This doesn't fix anything!" Maybe that wasn't the goal of this trade?
