There goes our best trade chip. The return is decent, not overwhelming. Grundstrom was ranked #5 on Pronman's leafs list (legit NHL prospect) and Durzi is #9 (have a chance). I still wish Blake could have gotten Liljegren or Sandin (guys more widely regarded as true blue-chip prospects), but this is a respectable return. Liljegren probably would have been a tough get since there seems to be a perpetual shortage of RD.
Edit: Thanks for the great play Mr Muzzin. You were always one of my favorites and played far better than the criticism that you received. Hopefully you can win a Cup with TO in 2020 (I'd say this year but we don't want a #31 overall pick).
