Leafs trade Denis Malgin for Dryden Hunt

TRADE: We’ve acquired forward Dryden Hunt from Colorado in exchange for forward Denis Malgin. #LeafsForever

In a surprise pre-roster freeze move, the Maple Leafs have swapped Denis Malgin for Dryden Hunt.

Hunt is 27, shoots left and primarily plays left wing. He was undrafted and signed to an ELC by the Panthers out of the WHL. He played for them and their AHL team for several years, did a year in Arizona, one in New York and was picked up by the Avalanche earlier this season on waivers.
