Fans didn't appreciate Zaitsev and the heavy minutes he played...a lot of the PK. But really the trade was made to get long term cap relief....no Zaitsev. But please don't criticize Ceci so much. He has to play with Reilly, and Reilly has been terrible in the own zone this year. Also Ceci certainly isn't the worse RHD the Leafs have, that is Barrie easily.
I wish the the Leafs (Babcock) hadn't pissed off Ozhignov so much. He and Dermot were playing well before Dermot injury, then suddenly Ozzie was banished to the press box.
Reilly Hainsey, Dermot, Ozhignokov. Ceci and Gardiner. If the cap could have worked out...that would been a better group to go with.
