Jake Muzzin stands to benefit the most from the Toronto Maple Leafs acquiring defenseman Mark Giordano from the Seattle Kraken.
Namely, it gives him and the Toronto Maple Leafs a little more runway to allow for a full recovery from the effects of two concussions within a relatively short space of time.
Equally though, it means he can be sheltered a little in his return to the ice. This certainly won’t go amiss given when Jake Muzzin does eventually return and given the Leafs have said they’re not about to hold him back; he’ll likely need a couple of games to get back up to speed.
