On paper this is now without question the best defence group the Leafs have had in the cap era. We should absolutely make it worse. Immediately.

* shrugs * Asset management. Can the team -- long-term -- afford to let 25 + 42 + 51 walk for nothing?
Bullfrog said:This is a really good trade. I'm happy. Giving up Durzi is tough, but you've got to pay up to get someone of Muzzin's calibre.
I can understand the thoughts of some to trade Gardiner now, but I say he keep him to actually enjoy a solid D-corps.

Don't know what Durzi will become. He was passed over entirely in the draft 2 years ago, and then the Leafs selected him as an over-ager this past summer. He looks good in junior, but then again he's an older junior so he should be looking good. Leafs still have Liljegren and Sandin as the 2 best d prospects.

Nik the Trik said:I'm a little interested in Grundstrom's inclusion here. Is it more of a sign that LA considered him the best of Toronto's remaining wing prospects or that Toronto considered him to be just one among many? He was frequently mentioned as someone who the Leafs had who would provide some more diversity to the skillset so I wonder if this is more about his value or the Leafs maybe being higher on Timashov/Bracco/Whoever

I'd imagine Moore's emergence made him slightly more expendable from a Leafs POV.

Possibly, yeah. I wonder if LA targeted him because he's the closest to being NHL-ready rather than the highest ceiling. I don't think there's much separating the Leafs' top wing prospects, so, being closer to being able to contribute could certainly be enough to make one guy seem more valuable.
