I was just about done today’s FTB when I got the @LeafsPR notification. It’s safe to say, there was a few more links to add! Jake Muzzin provides the Leafs with another legitimate top-three defenceman, and Morgan Rielly will finally have a high-end partner to play with.
I shared a few quick thoughts on the trade in our emergency roundtable:
The Leafs were bound to add a defenceman at the trade deadline. It’s impossible to look at this group of forwards, with Frederik Andersen in net, and not upgrade on the backend.
