Jake Muzzin had a nice 12-year career, split between the Los Angeles Kings and the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Defenseman’s best years were in L.A., where he had three 40-point years and helped the Kings win the 2014 Stanley Cup. The Kings traded Muzzin to Toronto, where he stayed more on the defensive end.

Internationally, he competed in two major tournaments and won Gold in both of them: the 2016 World Cup and the 2015 World Hockey Championships.

Jake Muzzin had a unique path to the NHL, as despite being drafted By Pittsburgh in 2007, the OHL Defenseman was not signed.  Muzzin reentered the draft in 2009, but this time no NHL took him.  Muzzin was eligible to play one more year in the OHL, and he maximized the opportunity, winning the OHL Defenseman of the Year.   The Kings took notice, signed Muzzin, who made the team.

Over the first two seasons, Muzzin mainly played in the AHL over the first two seasons, though he was on the roster (though he did not play) when the Kings captured the 2012 Stanley Cup.  Muzzin was in the NHL to stay in 2012, gradually gaining more playing time with each playing year.  Helping the Kings win their second Stanley Cup in 2014, Muzzin would have at least 40 Points in three of the following four seasons, and he was arguably one of the better players for Los Angeles in the mid-10s.  

The struggling Kings traded Muzzin to Toronto in 2019, leaving the Kings with 213 Points.
