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.

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.
