Observations:

 

November 2013- Brad Malone has been recalled for the first time this season to the Colorado Avalanche. With injuries hitting the Avs top six, and Mackinnon moving up to center the top line, Malone will likely get a shot at a decent amount of third line minutes. Andrew Ward

 

September 2013- Brad Malone played 22 games for the Avalanche and had a successful run as a checking forward. He was big, physical and even scored a goal and added three assists. Malone should make the team out of camp and fit in the bottom six where he was last season.

 

January 2013 – Malone is currently up with the Avalanche as extra depth and energy with the loss of Steve Downie for the rest of the year. His production is limited and he has only produced 14 points in 37 games for Lake Erie and is not responsible enough for regular minutes. Jason Banks

 

March 2012 – Malone honed his game at the prominent North Dakota Fighting Sioux (WCHA) program in the NCAA. He is simply a power forward who will chip in with some points at the pro level. Malone will really look to be an agitator in Lake Erie and Colorado. He is currently in his rookie season in the AHL, although has already seen some time with the Avs.

 

Fantasy Outlook: C+

Malone is a just a gritty, hard-nosed forward who looks to take an enforcer role in the NHL – may post big PIM
