Bye weeks make for interesting trade analysis as Jake Muzzin was traded on Monday evening to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The return was as follows:
- 2019 first round pick
- Carl Grundstrom
- The rights to Sean Durzi
Toronto needed defensive help and they went out and acquired some. Muzzin is under contract for another year after this at a $4 million salary cap hit. That type of insurance was hard to ignore given the murky uncertainty with Jake Gardiner.
