FWIW, Dominique Malonga really enjoyed his time in Calgary. He's a bit aloof, but it wouldn't be a major shock to see him back with the Cavs. The Tommy Wheeldon Jr./Spruce Meadows effect is real. Treat your players, staff well, and you'll receive it in spades in return.
Appreciate the insight on Malonga. His body language on and off the pitch was sometimes negative but your post is a reminder that this doesn't mean the player isn't invested in the team nor unhappy.

I'm a bit torn on Malonga coming back. He's a class player in this league in terms of his touch and guile. And he obviously had a healthy goal return. But I found myself still wanting more from him. His work rate as a sole striker was sometimes lacking IMO and I thought he was often wasteful in front of goal. I wonder what kind of wages he was on. My thought was he must have been one of the higher earners on the team.
