These trades don't make the Leafs any better for this season. In effect Pietrangelo and Sandin replace Reilly and Ceci. For some reason, folks think Sandin is ready to to take big NHL minutes and that Ceci is just a cap dump. Both false assumptions. Plus Leafs lost 2 year of Reilly.
I doubt if Pietrangelo would waive to come to the Leafs anyway this season. Then we get into the very realistic situation where the defending Cup champs ask/tell their NTC captain they want to trade him.
