No Way LA does this they aren't moving Muzzin. If you want a top 4 dman you are probably only getting Martinez from LA as the rest of their d core doesn't have much value with the exception of Doughty and Muzzin.
I think Jake Muzzin is one of the most underrated defensemen in the NHL today. He's a legitimate shutdown D that you can play 20+ minutes. Most players people usually refer to as "shutdown" tend to be guys who can barely skate and play. Muzzin can definitely do both. He's exactly what the Leafs need, IMO.
The reason why I did this was because everyone can see how good LA are defensively from a TEAM perspective, which would from a Leafs fan's perspective at least, make you think that one of their D might be expendable for a high-scoring winger that LA is sorely lacking right now. Carter is the team's only consistent offensive threat now that Toffoli is hurt. It's been a big problem for LA and adding a player like JVR would be huge for them.

Yes it is... but this would only happen if LA mgmt has lost their collective minds.
LOL -- Yeah, I think I went a little overboard with adding one of their better defensive prospects and a first.
It would be a great fleecing!

Muzzin alone is too good to pass up, besides being a lefty, he's the epitome of what the leafs are missing/need to be a contender
I would even go JVR+Carrick for Muzzin
Honestly? I would do this, too. Muzzin is such a perfect fit for this team going forward and I think they have a real shot at the cup over the next couple of years before Matthews and Marner's ELC expire.
