The Penguins would have to absolutely guy their system to pull off Muzzin, because he would have cost Addison, Hallander and a 1st. For a team like Toronto, that's something they can afford to do. Pittsburgh? That's taking a rocket launcher to their prospect pool. For Muzzin, I don't think the Penguins had the chips to get into a bidding war for him. They're going to have to find someone who likes Maatta and would trade a better defenseman for Maatta and futures.
I'm not sure why it would cost Addison and Hallander because the Leafs prospects who went the other way aren't on par with those guys. It would be closer to someone like Phillips and Bjorkqvist plus the 1st. Durzi's way more of a wildcard long shot than Addison is, and Grundstrom projected to have a lower ceiling than Hallander is expected to have.
