Really not sure why Leaf fans, or perhaps other hockey fans, making these AGMs hate Cody Ceci. You have him for 1 season, with a show-me opportunity for him to impress his new club, and now, new coach. To sell him off for a 5th rounder just to make room for youngster Phillipe Myers, makes absolutely no hockey sense. If anything, Myers would slot with Dermott, Ceci remains a top-4 option and you sit Holl. As for your Kapanen, I would prefer the Leafs move Nylander. He's having a good offensive season, but is really terrible defensively, so much so that he is a giveaway liability on an ongoing regular basis. That said, I think you could easily get Myers, Laughton (gritty, good at faceoffs, PK, etc.) and a lottery-protected 1st round draft pick in 2020 for Nylander. Leafs could then shed Nylander's contract, slot Myers in on the right side and use Laughton for gritty stuff. He'd be an upgrade over Shore 100% and, defensively, an upgrade over Kerfoot.
