Young NHLer Signs Five-Year Deal in Europe

Another young player in the NHL has chosen to pursue his career in Europe after a few disappointing years in North America.

Denis Malgin has announced that he is going back home to play in the Swiss League with the ZSC Lions.

Back in 2021, he signed a four-year deal with the Lions but left the final three seasons on the table to join the NHL.

Now, he has inked a five-year contract.

According to Kyle Cushman:

Last year, he played for the Maple Leafs and the Avalanche, scoring 21 points in 65 games.

In total, he has taken part in 257 NHL games and scored 81 points with the Panthers, the Leafs, and the Avs.

We are hearing more and more about the Swiss League and why it is an attractive place to play hockey.

Some analysts even say the league is better than the AHL!

In the coming years, it would not be surprising to see more players leave the NHL to join the Swiss League.

Do you think Malgin will come back to the NHL?
