Observations
June 2018 – Malenstyn was injured for a large portion of the first half of his final season with the Calgary Hitmen, as he suited up for four games registering three assists. In December he was traded to the Swift Current Broncos and came back at the end of December to finish the regular season with 29 points in 38 games. He was not used as a top forward for the Broncos and it showed with his numbers. During the Broncos playoff run Malenstyn posted 11 points in 26 games. He is a smart versatile forwardwho could fill a middle six role, but may be best suited for a bottom six role. He is likely to play in the AHL for the entire 2018-19 season, so how he reacts to the professional grind will show a lot about the player he can become. Pat Quinn
