Now that there's no semi-spurious "cap floor" issue, I can't see Anaheim being interested in Muzzin without a serious incentive.
I'm still convinced that the best deal for both sides is Muzzin without any retention for a trade back in the 2023 draft -- either at the trade deadline or on draft day, when the relative placement of the respective picks will be more or less known (at the TDL) or absolutely known (on Draft Day One). The issue is whether Toronto can afford to wait that long.
