Proposal: Ceci to the Leafs

[Leafidelity]

 

[strictlyrandy]

Ceci is a bottom pairing guy on a good day... Leafs get hosed.

EK couldn't even return a top prospect from a team but Ceci can?

Leafs counter offer:

To OTTAWA:
(D) Ron Hainsey $3M x 1 yr, UFA
(F) Frédérik Gauthier $675K x 2 yrs, RFA
(D) Calle Rosén $925K x 1 yr, RFA

To TORONTO:
(D) Cody Ceci, $4.3M x 1 yr, RFA

Why this is an improvement:

Toronto: Leafs clear out Hainsey, whose veteran presence isn’t as required, since landing Tavares. Gives Rielly the leadership role outright on D. Ceci is a young, RFA asset to replace Hainsey, whose cap hit is manageable and likely won’t be much larger next year.

Ottawa: They get a gud pro in Hainsey who will be a big help to a beleaguered Sens defensive group. They also add a defensive C to help soften the damage of Pageau’s injury. Gauthier is BURIED in Toronto. Calle Rosen is also another young D that has potential, but will not get much opportunity as the Leafs have too few spots open to give him a shot.

Dollar-wise Ottawa is taking on an extra $300K which is negligible.

 

[ITM]

Liljegren, Timothy ($894,166)
Timashov, Dmytro ($693,333)




Ceci, Cody ($4,300,000)

What’s your sense of Liljegren’s value from sources that routinely rank prospects?

 

[Prairie Habs]

so, no one will play RHD in OTT this year?

and TOR most likely decline this anyway, coming up they need cost controlled assets which both players that you're asking for are for them

Think of all the money Eugene can save if no one plays on that half of the ice. Zamboni fees cut in half!

Yah you want Ceci, sure I want nylander. Done deal.

But ceci is really bad at hockey especially at 4M lol

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

Sens have retained salary in the past 6 months.

Sens aren't trading Ceci for a 2nd and a 3rd, that's the aspect you should have taken issue with.

He's not worth much if at all more lmao. He's young ish and has some potential left is the biggest thing going for him. He's literally a 4 million dollar bottom pairing dman.

Nylander is soft as a kitten and disappears contact for 7 mil plus

 

[Beezeral]

Ceci is not a top 4 d-man and won’t garner a return like one.

 

[TheNewEra]

Nylander is soft as a kitten and disappears contact for 7 mil plus

we arent getting nylander for ceci even if nylander pulls an 'alleged' hoffman

 

[93LEAFS]

I wouldn't make this trade if you replaced Liljegren with Sandin even. Ceci is not worth his qualifying offer.

There are very few things on Ottawa I'd trade Liljegren for. I might put him on the table for a cup run with Duchene as a LWer for us (although I'd be reluctant to do that for a rental we can't sign), or I would consider it for Chabot (although Chabot really doesn't solve a need for us). I'd put him on the table for Brady Tkachuk. But, that's about it, I love Stone, but he doesn't really fit a need (LW or D) and I can't give that up for a rental who doesn't fit a need who we can't re-sign.

 

[rent free]

I'd only trade lillegren if zaistev goes with him, and because melnyk is a cheapass, thats unlikely to happen.

 

[93gilmour93]

That's a bigger return than Karlsson got

Hahahaha. So true. ..

 

[Halla]

yeah thats a no. personaly wouldnt do liljegren straight up.
Ceci looked good at first, then he looked awful

both teams keep their guy

 

[Halla]

Yah you want Ceci, sure I want nylander. Done deal.

ottawa just traded their only piece that could have landed nylander

It doesn't matter hes already holding out.. Not sure I want a selfish player. Let the leafs overpay on him
