Thursday’s FTB: Is there room for Jake Muzzin on the powerplay?

So I’ve been thinking. The same sentiments have been floating around since the Leafs pulled the trigger to acquire Jake Muzzin. Tell me you’ve heard this before: Muzzin is a heart and soul player who is better in all areas of the ice. He’s a hard working defenceman with a physical presence who can play on a top pair, man a powerplay, and kill penalties. Sound familiar?

We suspect (but it’s pretty clear that it’ll happen) Muzzin will play top-line minutes with Morgan Rielly. Nice. The same assumption can be made for the PK where Babcock likely finds a spot for Muzzin to take some of the pressure off Ron Hainsey and Nikita Zaitsev.
