Zaitsev and Brown traded to Ottawa

[93forever]

Has anyone seen Ceci play?  Some Senator fans I know preferred Phaneuf over Ceci.  Hopefully he can get a new start here.

I honestly think what Ceci had most going for him is that he was from Ottawa.  He's like the Blue Jays' Dalton Pompey.

Beyond that, he's terrible.

And when the Leafs traded Phaneuf to Ottawa with Cowan coming back to the Leafs, me and my Senator friends couldn't figure out who won the trade.  We both thanked each other because our teams got rid of players we didn't want but didn't like what was coming back.  Harpur has potential to be decent, and maybe the Leafs can drop Ceci if he proves he is not that decent on d.

I'm not totally sure but I don't think there's anything to prevent them from sending him to the Marlies if need be so they can bury his contract.

Harpur seems to be pretty brutal also.

Is he a victim of the Sens, or is he just bad? That's what the Leafs have to find out. He's a big boy though. I hope he can replace at least Marincin on the depth chart.

I would rather see Borgman as our 3rd LHD man.  He has some sandpaper and has made some amazing plays with the Marlies.

He literally looks like he's playing for the other team.

Harpur shouldn't get a sniff at the NHL roster. The only element he has is size. He's terrible at everything else that helps win hockey games - to the point where he is actively negative. He's Andy Wozniewski. *shudders*

I want to see Borgman as our 3rd line D as well. I really like his game. He played well for the Marlies.

How likely is it that Cody Ceci becomes Toronto's whipping boy before he plays a single game here?

100% because he is already lol.

I mean his contract and his reputation in Ottawa right off the bat isn't going to help him. As the season starts it'll depend on how Babcock uses him. If it's just 3rd pair + PK minutes he might perform ok, or his warts might be excused if he brings a physical presence to the team like Polak did. But if he gets used on the top/shutdown pair and has results like he did in Ottawa then things will probably get rough.

I think with all healthy, Ceci os on the 3rd pairing. I can see Barrie with Muzzin and Dermott with Reilly.

His possession numbers are straight up fugly.

Interestingly, his possession numbers are decent when paired with someone decent.  (Last year anyways)

Ceci + Chabot:  52%

Both were under 50% when away from each other.

Just playing DA here.  I don't expect him to be good, but I'd live with passable for 1 yr until a young guy can step in.  NOTE:  Not getting my hopes up.

He has spent a lot of time on bad teams paired with poor possession players, so, I certainly wouldn't rule out the possibility of him being alright with some with better puck skills, etc. Also, not getting my hopes up, but, fingers crossed.

I think we should wait until we actually see him play and go from there. I think he gets put with Rielly as our 1B. Muzzin and Barrie are 1A.

I guess this isn't particularly surprising, at least while Dermott is out. We'll see what happens after that.

No surprise. Let's see what happens.

I'm not totally sure but I don't think there's anything to prevent them from sending him to the Marlies if need be so they can bury his contract.

You can't bury more than $925K I think (number may have increased)

It also couldn't hurt to try see what he's capable of with quality partners, and, of course, try to raise his trade value
