Hope this isn't true.

 

[Paradoc]

No way.

How good is Ceci at the moment?

 

[ShaneFalco]

Would t mind at all

 

[TimeZone]

Ceci is an RFA FWIW.

 

[The Podium]

Is Ceci arbitration eligible? If not Dubas can play hard ball and if Ceci doesnt want to sign him sitting out a year effectively clears 4.5 mill long term.

Also the big win here would be obviously not committing for as long a term if this deal goes through.

Yes Cody Ceci - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

Ceci sucks based on production, advanced stats and watching him, along with league wide rep. If a player has arbitration rights can the team choose to walk away from arbitrators decision and let that guy become a UFA.

 

[BallardEra]

Hopefully Leafs are trading for his rights and then letting Ceci walk.

 

[Anthrax442]

Is he really that bad?

 

[trellaine201]

Why do they even need to sign him? If Arb the Leafs walk.

IIRC if the award is 4.4M or higher, they can walk away.

Only if he's awarded 4.5+

Ah true thanks. I dont want to see him on the leafs for anything more than 1.5 million. I wonder if we could deal him for a mid round pick rather than signing him

 

[Joey Hoser]

No way.

Not looking good, but that's playing for the Sens so, yeah. He's 25, big and shoots right though. Wouldn't count on him as an answer to our problems, but I'd take the trade and there's potential there.

Cody Ceci’s father, Paul, is his agent.

 

[Cor]

I think there’s two options here

1. Dubas has talked to Ceci’s camp and are comfortable with their ask on an extension.

2. We are flipping Ceci in another deal, since he’s likely more attractable than Zaitsev is

 

[dubey]

See if Crozby is available DUBIS!!

People have been crapping on Zaitsev all year and expect him to return something good? lol

Too easy.

You must not know how trash Ceci is

 

[Canada4Gold]

Ceci? So basically an overpaid guy with term for an arbitration guy who's gonna be overpaid for 1 year that we might get the option to walk away from if he's really overpaid?

I mean Zaitsev for nothing after we walk away from Ceci's award might be fine, but then what?

 

[Shak19]

Bracco going to OTT as sweetener

 

[Sypher04]

Bracco going to OTT as sweetener

Screw that. I'm fine with Zaitsev staying. I'm definitely not interested in adding a sweetener, let alone Bracco

Put me in coach!

Probably a trade (I hope) after the Leafs decline whatever Ceci is awarded in arbitration and let him walk
