Way to much to give up for only Laughton who isn’t that good and walker who I also don’t see as an upgrade over Ceci defensively

I also thought this was too much, however I didn't want to hear it from other fan bases lol. Also I was in the same boat for Ceci > Walker, but after looking into advanced stats Walker performs better than Ceci in most/all of the important categories even with a lower PDO and lower end D partner in Nick Seeler. Looking at years prior to this one Walker had better results than Ceci, however he was playing against lower end competition at that point

Walker is better than Ceci. Ceci is still solid in his role though, but Walker helps the Oilers in transition and o-zone play. Analytics back it up and eye test.

Completely agree, and it was a conclusion I had to form, since I was initially against trading Ceci at this point. His style of play suits Coffey more than Ceci's.

100%.
