Dougie will be back before the playoffs. I don't think CAR needs another Dman. Allow Fleury more ice time...heck get Bean some NHL ice time. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Bean's gotta come up some time...right???

I thought Brind’amour came out and said he is not expected back?

He danced around the question on time table. He said dougie would be back whether it's this year or next. Staal had a similar injury. He was sidelined roughly 3 months. So April is my NONdoctor estimate.

Kinda of silly trade for the Leafs, not getting a replacement for Ceci, who apparently has the fewest goals against per minutes even strength of any Leafs and is penalty killer.

LOL!!!!

No one is taking Ceci and his contract for a 7th. Especially from a team that also needs RHD and still has Ceci.

if he his back before the playoffs, he won't be the same player. It takes guys roughly 1 year to come back from a break. Unless it's the foot, that's different. But his was definitely not the foot.

This...


What is wrong with ceci’s contract? He is ufa. Not much risk there.

Its $4.5M that could be spent on a good player to replace Hamilton. Carolina isn't going to throw a life preserver to the Leafs so they can go out and spend that $4.5M on an actual RHD with skill. Come on, the fact a Leaf fan presented this as the other team, should be making your BS meter go off the charts. Leafs NEED RHD, why are they selling Ceci?
