Different animals for sure.Older in general, Muzzin older too but will not get term and cap hit like AP.

Why are people trying to trade Dermott? He's immensely valuable to this team
Conversely I wonder why fans all hype him up and pencil him into the top 4 or top 2 when he's yet to show he can handle more than sheltered 3rd pairing minutes now into his 3rd season with the team.
Pietrangelo will want more money and longer term and is older.
Sorry I don't see it. I can't see Dermott ever becoming a Muzzin in the NHL.I hope we can keep Muzzin short term at a reasonable price as well - I just can't fathom why anyone would pay a declining Muzzin twice as much as Dermott would likely command (or more) when Dermott should be the better player within a year or two. The only real knock on Dermott is that he hasn't been given more responsibility, which isn't on the player in the slightest. He's one of the best defensemen in the league in the neutral zone, and his elusiveness in his own zone under pressure is also really impressive. Besides the occasional gaffes that any young defender makes, he has the potential to be a really solid 2-way dman for us. I think he's already starting to show that this year.
3 years ideally
I can't see Dubas being this much of a jerk, but what if we signed Muzzin and Barrie to extensions before the end of the year, then traded them at the draft before the extensions kick in and any possible NTC/NMC.
You could get a bunch of assets, maybe aim for a similar return to what we gave up for Muzzin originally and then be fully stocked up going into July 1st looking for that elite RHD.
