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

[FlameChampion]

I like it for LA

 

[DictatorTots427]

Not happy about giving up Grundstrom

 

[Jozay]

Would've preferred not including Grundstrom, but gotta pay a price.

 

[AllDay28]

this is a steal for the Leafs. the prospect lovers will come in and say "oh iunno" but the fact is Muzzin is a stud, and studs in the NHL > someone who might be okay.

And thats not to insult the Kings / Kings fan base. They got another 1st and who they draft there is on them, but as a fan, im very happy about this.

 

[canucks20]

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

Yes it is. But being one of the best young teams comes at a cost

 

[Brock Radunske]

Yikes. That's a heavy cost for another LHD

 

[Advanced stats]

Wow. We'll see how this works out, muzzin is signed next year right?

 

[Hunter368]

Basically a late 1st and two 2nd Rd picks......expensive but good upgrade.

Who is playing their offside?

 

[Warden of the North]

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

Someone likely goes to their off side. Both Rielly and Gardiner have played on the right before.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Which one is it?

a late 1st and two B prospects is pretty fair I'd say

 

[Vasilevskiy]

seems like a fair trade.

 

[1967th Heaven]

holy shit

 

[MorrisSmit89]

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?

need to shoot zaitsev into the sun

 

[Kevin Musto]

Which one is it?

That 1st is going to be very low. Durzi is 20 and still playing in the OHL. You hope a guy like Durzi could become half the player that Muzzin is. Grunstrom is okay but he's a third liner at best.

Muzzin is an established top 4 D at a good cap hit. Win for the Leafs.

 

[nzoilerfan]

Good trade for both sides. Leafs get a #2 LD and kings get a mid-late first rounder and some interesting prospects, not home runs, but good additions to their cupboard.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Solid deal by Dubas, that first rounder will likely be in the 20s anyways and their window is wide open now. Durzi and Grundstrom don't move the needle enough, and Muzzin brings playoff experience.

 

[Strait2thecup]

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

Not really tbh

 

[CycloneSweep]

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

Good trade for both sides.

Yeah. Muzzin also turns 30 in a month and seems like his best years are behind him. Still a good player and will help Toronto in the short term.

 

[KingCanadain1976]

I do not hate this.

that makes one of us

 

[TMLeafer]

Not cheap, but a good trade for both sides.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Nooooooooooooooooo MUZZZINNNNnnn.



He's a damn good defensemen. RIP.

 

[HOPE]

lmao why an other LHD

 

[Club]

Fair trade. But I like it for Toronto

 

[Cor]

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).

Carl Grundstrom is a stud. Reported earlier in the year that Leafs management sees him as a top 6 guy sooner rather than later.

Durzi has his fans, and his detractors. Having a solid year


This is a win-win TBH. Leafs get a cheap top 4 (top 2?) guy with term and LA kick starts the rebuild

 

[vanarchy]

I wonder if the Kings will finally blow it up?
