Trade: Avalanche and Maple Leafs swap bottom-six forwards
According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, the Colorado Avalanche have acquired forward Denis Malgin from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for forward Dryden Hunt.
The move comes as the National Hockey League's holiday roster freeze comes into effect at 11:59 p.m. tonight.
Malgin, 25, returned to the NHL this season after spending the last two in Switzerland. In 23 games for the Maple Leafs this season, Malgin had four points (two goals, two assists), four penalty minutes and was a minus-one.
Hunt, 27, started the 2022-23 season with the New York Rangers, but was claimed off waivers by Colorado on October 20th. In 28 games with the Rangers and Avalanche, Hunt had two goals, 15 penalty minutes and was a minus-eight.
