Shanahan gets involved this summer and pushes Dubas to make some big moves to push the Leafs over the top to win a Cup by acquiring Malkin, Paul, Domi, Mott, Bear, Varlamov and then Staal.
Malkin and Varlamov incredibily motivated to show the hockey world that they are both world class hockey players and Staal proves his critics wrong by becoming a force again in the NHL.
Keep your oft injured, rapidly declining, supremely overpaid defenseman. Many teams have the space to take him on but none want to because it’s awful asset mgmt. you’re stuck with him. Enjoy.
Muzzen won two cups in LA and is a great shutdown defenceman in the National Hockey League and had a great series against the Lightening.........Not sure why Carolina and their coach would not love him in Carolina.
in terms of their needs? yeah. kerfoot's point totals are likely to regress on a team like the islanders and if they move out varlamov they're either looking for cap space or draft assets/players in positions of need, and kerfoot doesn't really do that.
I agree and think the Islanders fired Trotz to commence the rebuild on the Island with younger players.

Because he hasn’t been consistently good and healthy in years. You talk about him like he’s still in his prime. Fact is bc of his cap hit he’s got neutral or negative value which is why you guys keep trying to shove him in every acgm and no team wants him other than rebuilding teams bc they want the assets you’d need to dump him with.
If he’s so good then leafs should totally keep him.

Muzzen is good......The real problem is that the Leafs have over half their cap space tied up into 4 hockey players.

So keep him or try to get him to waive to a non contender so you can dump him. Carolina and all other contenders don’t have room for a guy like that who can’t stay on the ice and is a shell of himself making that much money.
They can make the money for Geno if they move out some players.
That's always much easier said that done. Very few teams are willing to just take salary with nothing going back, otherwise Zucker would have been moved by now.
Chicago has publicly stated that they are doing a rebuild and it makes total sense to take a weaker and cheaper goalie if you are going to go through some tough years where you are trying to draft as high as possible.
Muzzen would be a second line defenceman in Carolina or any other team in the NHL.
muzzin isn't starting over slavin, deangelo, pesce or skjei
therefore he would be on the third line making 5x what a normal third pair defenseman would make

because he gets paid 5.25M and would be on Carolina's third pair, they don't need him, and he would give carolina no cap space to sign free agents or acquire a forward they need
