Muzzin extension (4 years, $5.625M per)

[Kin]

Good deal ? if they are willing to let him go to the Kraken or trade him if things are stagnating the next couple of years.  He does bring several things this team is desperately short of. 

On the other side of the ledger, he's not really all that great most of the time.

I'd feel better about the day if Dubas had at least gotten rid of Barrie.  But he couldn't even manage to do that.

I'm looking forward to your post in the TV thread about how you're really looking forward to the new season of Better Call Saul but you'd be even more excited if Dubas had traded Barrzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

This being, you know, the day he could have.

You're not giving Barrie away for nothing. Leafs needed a replacement for him and obviously there wasn't a fit. And Muzz is a pretty steady D man night in, night out. We can use another like him on the right side.

It would be nice if we got him at a steal instead of a fair market price.

I know people hate listening to me on this front but they are getting them at a discount. The cap doesn't just magically change economic reality.

Sure, fair market is probably the wrong phrase.  Cap market friendly maybe instead.  The Leafs certainly get hurt significantly more by the cap that most if not all other teams.

I?d be transplanting the A from Marner now

Agreed.

I spent a good chunk of the year I turned 23 trying to explain that would be the case to people.

But, you know, "Greedy players make ticket prices high!"

Like greedy auto workers are the reason car prices are so high?

Welcome back Muzz! A no-brainer and very reasonable deal. I wish we could have 3 or him. Huge forecheckers that need to be covered with stick and/or body in front of the net is the major concern for this team right now. Muzzin and to an extent Rielly (stockier than he looks) are the only guys really consistently capable of doing this. I'd love to see another Muzzin type added for next year, whatever the cost. Doesn't have to be offensive at all. One puck-mover and one tenacious coverage man per pairing. I think it would make a huge difference.

That's a VERY easy to trade contract at any point in it's term. Particularly after next July 1st 2021 though. I literally have no idea how anyone could be upset about this.

Good Idea, when Marner can grow a beard like Muzzface then let him have it back.
