10th Offensive Leading Scorer: Denis Malgin
Malgin is a decent player and should be able to contribute somewhat to the Panthers this season. Last year with the Panthers, he only managed to score 10 points in 47 games. That is not great at all. The Panthers also gave him a decent amount of opportunities to play with better players, but he failed to show that he was exactly ready.
Denis Malgin will make the team next year and will probably play on the third line if the coaching staff feels that the other prospects are not ready to play yet. If Malgin cannot show the organization that he can contribute decently, he will find himself scratched or back in the AHL. The Panthers will give him opportunities, but it is up to Malgin to show that he belongs in the NHL.
Prediction: 5 goals, 9 assists and 14 points.
