Playing under the spotlight and microscope is always tough. It can make the job a thousand times harder. For Denis Malgin, the spotlight and microscope were no joke in Toronto.
Malgin spent the most recent stretch of his career with the Toronto Maple Leafs but in a rough patch. Acquired from the Florida Panthers, his time in a Leafs jersey saw him play only 31 games with two goals and two assists.
There was certainly some scrutiny to be had when the Colorado Avalanche got him in a trade which sent Dryden Hunt the other way back in December.
