The Toronto Maple Leafs never should have traded Mason Marchment.
When it comes to Toronto Maple Leafs trades, the Mason Marchment deal is never spoke of enough. On February 19th, 2020, right before the world shut down, Toronto traded him to the Florida Panthers for Denis Malgin.
Malgin played eight games for the Leafs and has been spending the majority of his time in the Switzerland Hockey League ever since. It was a terrible assessment of talent, especially as the Leafs already had 10 guys who were just like Malgin.
Malgin is younger than Marchment and had way more NHL experience, but he was a 5-foot-9, 177 pound centre on a team that was already set down the middle.
