Before retiring ahead of the 2023-24 NHL season, the Woodstock, Ontario, native joined the Maple Leafs in a January 2019 trade. Muzzin, 35, played 683 regular-season games, recording 294 points, and logged 28 points in 72 playoff games. He was part of the Los Angeles Kings team that won the Stanley Cup in 2014.
In addition to Muzzin’s promotion, Toronto has expanded its scouting staff, hiring Jason Taylor as a pro scout, Jerrod Smith as an amateur scout, and bringing back Scott Carter in a part-time pro and amateur scout role.
With their roster finalized, the Leafs will officially kick off their 2024-25 campaign on Wednesday with a road game against the Montreal Canadiens.
