Elliotte Friedman mentioned a possible Phaneuf for Richards deal that got some criticism from fans. How about if LA adds Muzzin?

To Los Angeles: Phaneuf
To Toronto: Richards, Muzzin

Martinez more likely than muzzin

Id love this as a leafs fan, but I doubt the kings toss in muzzin in this trade. they need another dman, so losing a good one like muzzin is counter-productive

Phaneuf is just as overrated as the fact that mike Richards is not playing well atm. But Toronto adds not L.A. Maybe a 3rd pick or something around there

Ill put this one to bed as L.A would not add in Muzzin maybe we are able to get guys like Kyle Clifford, Trevor Lewis or Dwight King but not Muzzin. Plus they literally just resigned him so it wouldn't make much sense.

I tell you something: LA would not trade Muzzin straight up for Phaneuf.
Younger, better contract, already their #2 defenseman.
No way from the Kings.

Phaneuf
for
Richards, 3rd

As Draisaitl said, no chance Muzzin goes to Toronto in a Phaneuf/Richards deal.

People weren't getting the point of the criticism. The issue is Phaneuf's contract, not what LA was giving up. On LA, Phaneuf is on the 2nd pairing making him a 3/4 D NOT a top pairing (1/2) and his contract is too high for that. If TOR eats some of his contract, Phaneuf for Richards makes a lot of sense.

@JUICE61 Phaneuf for Richards makes a lot of sense for LAK, You very well may be correct about where Phaneuf would play for LAK but the Richards is playing 3rd line minutes and Phaneuf is playing 1st line minutes. Not a fair trade at all. BTW the cap does not work for LAK at all.
