Toronto Maple Leafs: Jake Muzzin Trade Is a Win from All Angles

Muzzin is a 29-year-old defenseman with 496 NHL games under his belt to go with 213 points. He is heralded as a well-rounded defender that can play in all situations. With 40 points in three of his last four seasons, as well as the team lead in blocked shots and hits this season, his numbers support his reputation. He will help the Toronto Maple Leafs immensely.

Muzzin has two Stanley Cup victories in his career and provides some much-needed physicality to the Toronto Maple Leafs defense core. Combining that with his offensive statistics and his possession numbers, Muzzin is one of the few players in the NHL that old school hockey fans and the analytics community can gush over together.
