While his stat line may have underwhelmed (26GP, 3G, 1A), his effort and attention to detail are the main reasons why he should take another huge step forward this year in his development.
Last season, Mamin was used mostly as a depth player and appeared sparingly on the 3rd and 4th forward lines while also spending time in Springfield and as a healthy scratch. At 6’2”, 191lbs, Mamin has the ability to be an everyday regular who will contribute significantly as part of the bottom-six.
Perhaps the greatest cause for optimism that Mamin will take a huge step forward this year is the effort and energy that Maxim brought to the ice during almost every opportunity he was afforded.
