The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired Jake Muzzin from the Los Angeles Kings in one of the best trades in what has been Kyle Dubas’ best move of his career so far.
The Toronto Maple Leafs absolutely heisted Muzzin out of LA for a first round pick and some B-prospects. The NHL is a cruel and capricious business though, and it’s ironic that the best trade of Dubas’ career has cost him twice, due to Muzzin being injured in back-to-back playoff series.
I mean, you can take all the coulda shoulda beens and the blame and the fallout and stuff them in a sack when you realize that if Muzzin had have been healthy, the Leafs would easily have advanced in both the past two years.
