Next year

Say it with me Anaheim, we're not paying for anyone's cap dump!

Muzzin comes with picks or you can call up another team, assuming he would even waive his NTC.

Using Anaheim as an example, besides Muzzin would be an amazing addition for your young defense core for his 2 remaining seasons. Chill

You have to be kidding....right?.........Ducks Coach and GM would both drive to the airport to personally pick up Muzzen if he agreed to waive his NTC to join the Ducks.

Explain why I would be? We have a lot of LHD to develop to see what we have in them, and our 1LD spot is locked up long term. Is he a good player? Sure, when he's healthy. Is he going to help the Ducks do anything over the remaining two years of his contract? No, most likely not.

We don't need more veteran presence on the D, half of them are. We don't need a 2LD from outside the organization, and we certainly don't need to be tying 5.6 mil up for the next two seasons.

Oh, but see, Toronto DOES need to dump cap, and there's what, 4 or 5 teams who can realistically take Muzzins contract? You see the miscalculation you Leafs fans are making is assuming Muzzin should be as valueable to us as he is to you. He is massively valueable to you, he's not worth the 5.6 million to us, because he doesn't get us anywhere. But the cap space he does occupy, that's VERY valueable to you. That's the ability to resign Sandin, and the cap space to go and pick up a rental at the deadline to try and break the curse.

You are buying 5.6 mil in cap space for the next two years, that's why you are sending the draft picks, or a prospect we like, with Muzzin. Or you can try calling one of the other teams who can take his contract without sending cap back the other way, but they will tell you the same thing.

Kane will turn 35 a whole month into that contract. Nope,even without all the personal issues nooooope
