It is quite rare for two teams fighting for the same playoff spot to make a trade just prior to the deadline, but that is the case here! In Malgin, the Maple Leafs get a skilled forward who can play all three positions up front. He is mostly an offensive player, so he should fit in well with Toronto (a team that plays an up-tempo system with puck possession and and offensive-minded mentality).

In 184 NHL games, Malgin failed to impress the Panthers enough to become a mainstay in the lineup. So, Florida shipped him to the rival Maple Leafs in exchange for Marchment. The latter is older than Malgin but has a lot less NHL experience (4 GP, all this season). That said, he brings a lot of size and grit to the hockey rink and could become a grinding, bottom-six winger in South Florida.

Malgin might be worth a flier as a late-season pickup in some fantasy leagues, since he has obvious offensive upside and is headed to a team that can score plenty of goals. Of course, so could the Panthers. Consider him a fantasy sleeper at this point. As for Marchment, his offensive potential is quite limited. Therefore, he can be safely ignored in most league formats.
