I think your valuation on Ceci is completely off. Nobody is going to pay a 1st rounder in "hopes" they will correct his defensive lapses. People pay 1st rounder for either great potential players and proven good players. Ceci is neither of those. Add to the fact that he's overpaid by about 1M, that makes it even worst.
For an offensive dman, he doesn't put up a lot of points. His career high is 26 points. You could point to him playing on a bad team, but he did play with some offensive players in Duchene, Stone, Dzingel, Chabot, Karlsson, etc. Look at what Justin Schultz got when EDM traded him. Him and Ceci are in the same boat.
