Confirmed Trade: [LAK/TOR] Jake Muzzin for 2019 1st round pick, Sean Durzi, and Carl Grundstrom

[Quares27]

Pretty good. Those are 3 decent assets for LA, and Toronto gets a top 4 guy without giving up their best assets. I really like Durzi and Grundstrom can be a solid 3rd line type player in a few years

 

[justafan22]

LA got a nice return. I was pretty high on Grundstrom as a good energy forward and Durzi seems like a decent RHD prospect.

Durzi's age is a factor.

 

[Nick Hansen]

Oof, seems like a high price for a #2 lefty.

Lol?

 

[CraigsList]

Fair price.

Toronto just made their team better.

 

[Liferleafer]

Oof, seems like a high price for a #2 lefty.

Guessing Rielly moves to the right.

 

[Namikaze Minato]

Good trade for both sides. Is it lottery protected?

I'm not even trolling, I'm curious no matter how slim the chance that Toronto misses is.

probably not protected.

[CupsOverCash]

Good trade for the Leafs. East got more interesting.

 

[mattydamon]

Nice trade - Leafs fans any idea what the plan is now with another LD? Another trade or play someone on their off-side?

I don't know enough about the Leafs prospects to have a strong opinion either way, if I'm honest.

The Leafs are at a point where they have to go all-in. The contract situation will be untenable soon.

I don't think this is enough to conquer Tampa and I hope it isn't (kind of a Leaf hater).

Haha it better be

 

[Dbrownss]

Thank god, we can finally stop all the threads involving us.

Blues and Canes fans are the real winners here

 

[MOGlLNY]

Good trade for both teams. I’m happy with this and I’m sure Leafs fans will be happy with Muzzin.

 

[stokes84]

Muzzin has lost a step.

 

[Nizdizzle]

Pretty good deal for both sides.

Muzzin helps Toronto in the short term immensely.

Grundstrom is gonna be a favourite in LA when he makes the team eventually. Durzi is a long-ish shot, but has really solid potential. A late 1st is a late 1st.

 

[Bettman Returnz]

Wow didn’t see that coming! Do leaf fans think this is enough for a deep playoff run? Or is there something else still needed?

 

[GQS]

Is Muzzin THAT good?! I wanted to see Grundstrom in a Leafs uniform.......

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Muzzin is only signed through 19-20. ~1.25 years of term was only going to return so much.

Good trade for both sides.

 

[MoreMogilny]

We aren’t bare. Moore, Hollowell, Engvall, Rosen, Woll, Scott, Liljgren, Sandin. That’s not empty

Yeah there’s 2 or 3 NHLers in that group. It’s bare. No high end talent.

But I guess the Leafs can’t avoid making moves, they’ve got to contend now and Muzzin certainly addresses an area of need

 

[OLUSAF]

Looks like a fair deal

Two decent prospects and a first for a top 4 D

 

[LeafsNation75]

Wow I'm happily shocked that the Leafs made this trade, despite the rumors of Toronto wanting to trade for him.

 

[Savvy]

it’ll be interesting to see how the leafs shift things after this. Dermott or Gards going to the right side? Or maybe things get real crazy and they’re not done

 

[Michelangelo]

Guessing Rielly moves to the right.

Muzzin can play both sides

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Cheaper Gardiner replacement for next year too

 

[wintersej]

Great trade for Toronto. This puts them clearly ahead of Boston for now. Lets see if Sweeney can answer.
