Why not remove the slow from Frozen mallet?
Have it build out of Phage. And give the properties phage has to Frozen Mallet, but in an amplified form so that it's better than the trinity force version of it.

Frozen Mallet was originally built from Phage. Phage had a slow instead of a speed boost. The two items are completely different in utility and don't need to be changed IMO.
Riot isn't in favor of having many of the same unique passives. If the had frozen mallet build out of phage, there would now be 3 (2 fully built) items with the phage passive, and no item with the frozen mallet passive. (Just realized you said in a different amount) Well it would honestly be quite pointless, as it would just be a better phage, with an item that now has a very odd name and icon for something that boosts your speed. In trying to make something simpler... or whatever, they would end up making a lot of work for themselves. Also, trinity force and phage are quite powerful on bruisers, and giving them anymore movement speed would make it very hard to kite and deal with bruisers (Or even adcs, as the passive doesn't change based on range.. right?)
