I am not quite as sold on Mr. Malaver, unless he has some more mobility another year removed from his serious knee injuries. He has not even held a permanent spot on MDs starting attack, and the MD offense as a whole really struggled to draw slides and score goals. Not 100% confirmed or anything, but it would not surprise me if he is leaving MD because they do not intend to put him at starting attack next season. Spanos started to play down there more since he could do more off the dodge. While I give Tillman and co a ton of credit for marching to the playoff finals, their scoring offense was ranked in the 40s last season. Aside from the Princeton game (a team with a not that great close defense) Malaver was not a big part of their offensive rebound in the playoffs.

I think Leo at attack would accomplish more when it comes to drawing slides/scoring against long poles. He matched Malaver's points on the year as (mostly) a middie and may not have the same x dodging skills, but is overall a good deal faster. This is the time of year for trying to predict the future though. Maybe Malaver has some more speed another year removed from injury? It could still work, and you have to love the Zulberti connection, but I think he would have to play a good deal better than he did last year to get an attack spot here.
