Can't say I know anything about Malgin but Marchment didn't look anything like an NHL player. So this trade falls into the "meh" category for me, until I get a chance to see what Malgin brings. Maybe a couple of years from now Marchment will find his way and this trade will look stupid.
Someone mentioned Timashov. I don't know what to make of him. He's reasonably quick and skilled but doesn't seem to accomplish much. Maybe that's as much due to his linemates as anything else (gauthier?). I do like that he actually hits people, though. Keep hoping Gauthier will take the hint but that will probably not happen at this point.

Not that this means a lot but Malgin has played 8 less NHL games than the two of those players combined at the time of their trades.

Scott Wheeler in the Athletic does a very good write up on Malgin. It hasn't been noted if Matthews had any input into this deal as he played with Malgin in Switzerland a few years back, so it is not outside the realm of possibility that he did mention Malgin as a skilled player to Dubas at some point. After stealing Hyman I don't mind if he doesn't end up being Hyman lite.herman said:

He won't be Hyman lite. He's a skilled player. His agent, I believe is Petr Svboda said that while people expect him to say nice things about his client, this kid is going to surprise people in T.O. Said it just wasn't a good fit in Florida. Kid has some really good skill. So we'll see. Apparently Dubas has shown interest in him for a while. Very low risk for both teams here and if it can push Goat out, I'm good. Hope it works out. D man is next!Highlander said:Scott Wheeler in the Athletic does a very good write up on Malgin.

Malgin's wearing 62 if anyone wanted to get their jersey done before tonight's game.

Eh... I think this is more a case of him technically not asking for a trade (his agent did), or him just not wanting to admit he asked for a trade in front of more reporters than he's seen in his life. Requesting a trade is still sorta frowned upon.

I think I was more disappointed in Marchment's play on his call ups than this trade. He had a pretty good path to playing on the bottom 6 based on bring something other couldn't, and he really didn't show anything.
Anyway, I hope that swiss nic petan can join forces with regular nic petan and make one larger petan, destroying villages and such.
