Option 2:

The only way Jussi Mutou would leave the Colorado Raptors is if he was dragged out the door by an opposing GM. It’s Raps or Die for the young winger. If it came down to it, and Mutou was traded, he feels his skill set would allow for much wiggle room as far as gameplay goes. He shoots the puck, he hits opposing players, he gets penalties. You get what you get with Mutou.

However, I feel that some GMs might get him to tone down the penalties, which means toning back on the physical play. I believe this would result in higher point totals for Mutou as he puts more focus on his offensive game, and also stays out of the box a lot more.

His last couple seasons have been on a struggling Raptors team and with Mutou not having the strongest defensive game, this has resulted in poor defensive numbers around the board. Under a new system, Mutou may be able to improve his defensive game and become more of a two-way player at the cost of his explosive offence.
