Report: Leafs Finalizing Extension With Jake Muzzin.

"The Toronto Maple Leafs have a lot of questions regarding their blue line but it seems they might have solved one. We heard a couple of weeks ago that the Leafs might be working on an extension with defenseman Jake Muzzin. Now NHL insider Pierre LeBrun reports it's almost done. LeBrun reports that the deal will get done by the trade deadline the latest and it will likely be for 4 years at around $5.5 M AAV. Unless general manager Kyle Dubas can work some magic this more than likely means they'll let Tyson Barrie walk during the summer. What do you think of this contract for Muzzin?

Colleague @DarrenDreger reported on Insider Trading last night that the Muzzin extension will get done before the trade deadline. My own sense is 4 years at around $5.5 M aav would make sense for both sides. Good breakdown here from @mirtle https://t.co/RHxOssYxIf
