Confirmed with Link: Muzzin to Toronto for 2019 1st, Grundstrom, and rights to Durzi

[HeadInjury]

If they traded Muzzin, everyone else like Quick and Carter should be on the table.

I wonder if there is much of a market for Carter.

 

[rajuabju]

Toffoli, Carter, Quick, Martinez... sell sell sell sell.

If we can get scraps for Hagelin, Clifford or Lewis or Thompson I do that too.

I just dont know how to get rid of Brown, Kovy or Phaneuf.

 

[DoktorJeep]

F’yeah. Finally some common sense talk from Kings management.

 

[Jason Squirties]

I guess the more pressing question at this point is if we get to see the big M come up. Mackey D

 

[Cook24]

I’ve never been a big fan of Muzzin, but I’ll admit, in a season where not much has gone well, Muzzin seemed like one of our best players...

A 1st and two 2nd round prospects is a solid return...

 

[Cook24]

I guess the more pressing question at this point is if we get to see the big M come up. Mackey D

Would like to see him get one more shot before they let him walk...

I don't believe he ever has. Not with the Kings anyway.

Two different players a lot of the time. Smoother in the o-zone. Good shot, decent pass. Choppier in the d-zone. Can cause some yelling at the TV. Did better when you could interfere, like most d-men have. Was at his best with Doughty, when the rest of the D was also deep. He's never been on a team as deep offensively as the current Leafs though(other than in the 2014 playoffs when the Kings averaged 3.38 goals per game), so, how he fits in with that will be vastly different from what he's done with the Kings overall.

Everyone on the main board is saying he can play the right side and I'm wonding if I've been taking crazy pills. Never seen him on the right side unless he was lost.

WOW...I was actually looking over the Leafs prospects this past weekend and was reading about both Grundstrom and Durzi.
This is a good deal for both teams....

GRUNDSTROM:

A very hard working winger and great team player. Grundström plays an aggressive in-your-face type of game with plenty of intensity. Is strong on his skates, forechecks well and is very valuable on the penalty kill. He is not the most technically skilled player, but will chip in offensively and reads the game fairly well. Does a great job around the crease and along the boards. Great character with good timing in his hits. (EP 2016)

Was second in goals in Frolundra last year - 17 goals in only 35 games. Then joined the Marlies and had 8 goals, 14 pts in the playoff run...20 games and the calder cup.
21 years old and plays both LW and RW. 2nd rd pick 2017

Carl Grundström at eliteprospects.com

Durzi RHD (yay) 2nd rd 2018

28 pts in 26 games. (must have been injured, if only 26 games in OHL this season) 16 pts in 11 playoff games last yr Owen Sound. Durzi has 5 goals, 11 pts in his first 8 games with Guelph. Damn!

Sean Durzi at eliteprospects.com

And the #1 pick, the Kings will get a top prospect...I have faith in their top picks last 3 yrs (yes, Vilardi included. I believe he will play)
2016 highest pick: 2nd rd Clage
2017 Vilardi and JAD
2018 Kupari and Thomas. 5 good prospects....and now add 2 in first round 2019. Nice.

Thank you, Jake Muzzin. You were a pro, played hard and were pretty awesome. Go play some good playoff hockey. Toronto just landed their second best defenseman.

 

[DryIslandBartender]

Solid trade by Blake. Clears off 4 million in cap space too.

Quick is next or on the block.

 

[kovacro]

Thus trade also helps the tank. The defense weakened considerably here.

Give Phaneuf more minutes!

 

[apocalypse]

Time to bring back rebuildy the bear?

 

[Little Psycho]

Next!

 

[WHOneedsSOX]

Solid trade by Blake. Clears off 4 million in cap space too.

Quick is next or on the block.

I'd be shocked if they traded Quick. Guy is the heart of the team. But like Blake just said, this is a baaaad last place team.

 

[deaderhead28]

Not completely a fan of the trade,its ok but its Blake's job not mine.

 

[BigKing]

Always have to wonder if there would be more of a bidding war leading up to the TDL but maybe Toronto upped their offer from recent ones and Blake pounced. Does good by Muzzin as well by sending him to Toronto.

Grundstrom sounds like the type of player this team needs. Yes, they need more elite talent but they also need a lot more effort and buy-in.

This has to signal more of a rebuild than a retool. None of the return is something that can replace Muzzin and there is nothing in Ontario that is ready to do so either, although replacing people when you are in last place might not matter too much.

Would love MacD to get a tour of duty here to finish out the season.

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

And this group thinks that Quick won't fetch a 1st....lol

 

[Axl Rhoadz]

I'd be shocked if they traded Quick. Guy is the heart of the team. But like Blake just said, this is a baaaad last place team.

Whos cares how much heart is on the team when you're sitting in last place? Every player on this team should be on the block if you ask me...you have to BLOW IT UP.

 

[BigKing]

The Mayor called this - said Kings would deal Muzzin for a 1st.

Carter and Quick are next.

Kings will build around Kopitar, Doughty and Peterson. Team will be very different next season.

Next to go is Hagelin. Don't think they would move Fattenberg and I wouldn't move Thompson will all the youth coming in.

Insane scoop.

BigKing is calling the sun rising tomorrow.

[KingsOfCali25]

Really didn't want to see Muzzin be moved but it was the right decision. Got a 1st and a nice prospect (Grundstrum). Dont know about Durzi but is a nice addition to our bare RHD prospect pool.

Next up by the TDL: Hagelin, Thompson, Martinez, Clifford, Lewis, Fantenberg

Off season: Quick and Carter

By a miracle: Phanuef and Kovy

Kovy must likely staying unless he forces a trade.

Omg I forgot he's on the team. Smh

 

[Kingspiracy]

I'm gonna be a negative nancy and say we got hosed. A late first and a couple of b grade prospects seems light to me. Only positives are that it should signal a rebuild and we lose the shitty amish beard. Is it the leafs that have to be clean shaved??? ruh roh
