Toronto Maple Leafs' GM Brad Treliving has delivered a major blow: Jake Muzzin, a two-time cup champion, won't be playing in the NHL this season. This raises questions about his future in pro hockey.
Brad Treliving shared some crucial news about Jake Muzzin's status. He simply stated, "Jake Muzzin won't play this season." He also mentioned that Matt Murray would undergo surgery and rehab this week, without revealing the specifics. This announcement took the hockey community by surprise.
Following Treliving's statement, it was confirmed that Jake Muzzin would be on the long-term injured reserve, meaning he won't be playing for quite a while.
Despite not playing, Jake Muzzin is still actively involved with the Leafs. He takes part in team events when he can and watches team practices. It's evident that his health and well-being come first.
We don't know when Muzzin might come back to the NHL. He's played 683 career games, including the last five seasons with the Maple Leafs. Fans and teammates are holding onto hope that he'll recover and make a comeback to the game he's been dedicated to throughout his career.
