Horrible trade for Los Angeles. We give up three guys in the top half of their positions (two top-6 forwards and a top-4 defenseman) and get two years of Nylander, a hideously overpriced aging declining veteran LD, and a ton of additional cap. Absolutely horrid. Trading one top-4 RW for another isn't adding to our team, it's upgrading, and Roy is more valuable to us than Muzzin would be. We could probably re-sign Alex Edler for half Muzzin's cap hit and get the same results, judging from Muzzin's regular-season figures.
For the record, here are the numbers for Edler and Muzzin:
Edler, 41 games, 3 goals, 19 points, +18, 52.1 Corsi, 54.4 Fenwick
Muzzin, 47 games, 3 goals, 14 points, -6 , 48.1 Corsi, 47.9 Fenwick.
