Crouse is worth more than that imo. In terms of salary and trade value. That being said he’s the type of guy who can really help a contender imo.

Arizona appears to be following the Hawks agenda of tearing the team right down to the bottom........and Crouse oddman out as team just wants to tank for higher draft picks......They Muzzen only to get to the floor of the Cap and hope to trade him off for picks at this year or next year's trade deadline.

Muzzin isn't worth picks. Arizona needs something valuable in return for Crouse, even if he wants out. This isn't it.

Crouse is a good fit for leaf's 3m aav for 2 years Cost Kerfoot and a 2024 1st ,Muzzin is a perfect fit for Ducks however, don't expect much of a return

I think as mention by chefed that the Ducks might be the better fit for Muzzen and they have lots of CapSpace.

So you downgrade the goaltending this offseason, but adding Crouse will get you out of the first round and all the way to the cup? Lol

Not saying you can’t make the playoffs… but Crouse doesn’t suddenly take you from getting knocked out in the first round every year to the cup.

So what is it about Crouse that all of the sudden he's the missing piece? Is it his fantastic playoff stats? Is it his mass amount of experience and production in the playoffs? Is it his incredible goal totals from the regular season? Or is he's not Kerfoot, I think it's cause he's not Kerfoot

1. Mrazek was terrible, played terrible and was injured 80% of the season.
2. Muzzin is not terrible, hasn't been terrible but missed 20% of the season

Those are the differences

Of goalies that played at least 31.25% of their team’s games last season, Samsonov was 45 out of 51 in save percentage. The only goalie worse on a playoff team was Cal Peterson, but they had Quick who was better. Murray did not play enough games to qualify because he was sent to the AHL for being bad. And it’s been 4 years since Murray started half of his team’s games. Lmao

Murray is an intesting gamble for the Leafs as he backstopped the Penguins to 2 Stanley Cups.......His career has got off track with his father dieing and then dealing with alot of injuries and playing for a terrible team in Ottawa with no defence......I have no doubt in my mind that he will bounce back this year to his former self and the Leafs will have a money goalie for the playoffs.

Samanov is a former 1rst round goalie pick and starter for the Capitals who has had a great winning record with also a team with a weak defence in front of him......If you want to write him off that is your preference.....but i would warn you not to listen so much to the Toronto media to form your opinions on players in the National Hockey League.......Capitals soured on him after he had a ATV accident which is kind of a joke.

I think it’s hilarious that so many Toronto fans think that all hockey fans follow Toronto hockey media closely. I don’t read or consume any at all, aside from the occasional draft related article.
