Is it all just a perception that Buff is better though? Is there is really a $3 million dollar difference between the two players?
Points are a wash, Muzzin has the favorable advanced stats, and has proven chemistry on that team.
Muzzin plays similar 5 v 5, slightly more SH, and about a minute less on the PP per game.
If you could put a package around Martinez then sure, but Muzzin is a stud d-man in his own right and you are spending $3M more on a d-man that isn't substantially better and is 4 years older.
Doughty, Muzzin, and Byfuglien would be impressive. Not sure I really agree that the Kings have the long term cap room for that though.
