The Toronto Maple Leafs announced Thursday that Jake Muzzin won’t suit up again in 2022-23 after initially suffering a neck injury Oct. 17 in a collision with Arizona Coyotes forward Clayton Keller
Whether the veteran defenceman can eventually resume his NHL career remains to be seen.
Often the team’s locker-room conscience as a talented core looked to finally get over its playoff hump, Muzzin subsequently signed a four-year, US$22.5-million contract with the Leafs in February 2020 that carries a salary cap hit of $5.625-million through the end of next season. In a media availability with reporters earlier this month, Dubas said defenceman T.J. Brodie has stepped up to take on a significant chunk of the “hard minutes” that Muzzin occupied against opponents’ best players.He didn’t sign with the Pittsburgh Penguins after they selected him in the fifth round of the 2007 NHL draft following his first season with the Ontario Hockey League’s Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds.
