I don't remember the last time the Devils had a player the size of Malmivaara.
That size will benefit the team for sure. Especially since they've been looking to reestablish a physical presence on the backline,
especially in front of their own net.
Only 2 years in North America, and so much is being made of him in a hurry.
But he didn't stick around long enough to be an asset. He went back to Europe to play.
Entry Draft: 2000 Fourth Round Pick (117th overall) by the Chicago Blackhawks
