Thread: Leafs roster adjustment for playoff push
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Bottom pairing? Fact is the Leafs have been average to poor at RHD this season. Certainly Ceci has been no worse than Barrie or Holl this season, but the CapFriendly distain for Ceci and his play is unwarranted.
The Jersey trade....giving up Kapanen and a RHD starter next in Liljegren is absolutely silly just to switch Vatanen and Ceci on the roster this season.
If there is someone in the Leaf organization, prepared to play 18 minutes a game at RHD, sure would like to know who it is, cause the Leaf management doesn't think there is anyone or that player would have called up already.
Johnsson for Georgiev or something like that would solve the Leafs net problem and even help the cap. But trading Ceci, Kapanen and Liljegren just to acquire Vatanen....that is so bad for the Leafs this year and future year.</div></div>

Ceci has been the worst defenceman on the Leafs, especially since Keefe became coach. He's analytically not good and the eye test shows he's really not effective at anything. I am not on the trade him at all costs, but I'd wager bringing up Sandin and sitting Ceci would make the team better. As for these trades, they are all stupid.

I love how many Leaf fans think like this. What was one of the biggest issues for the team this year? It took a long time for them to gel as a team. What is the solution to half the Leaf fans on here? Trade another 3rd of the roster and expect different results.

I think the team as it is is very good and will rise up the standings, but they could definitely upgrade RHD over Ceci and getting a backup would help as well. Although we'll see if Hutch can win his next game and at least quiet that situation for a little while.

Thread: Leafs roster adjustment for playoff push
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Rangers can likely get more for Kreider and Georgiev in separate trades.
The Jersey trade makes the Leafs worse this season and in the future. Why do folks think that the NJD have so many good Dmen....Subban, Vatanen and Severson and the Leafs don't.
Fact is Ceci has been OK with Leafs, and certainly no worse than some of defence mates, but for some reason the ill informed think trading Ceci and a lot more solves the Leafs problems.</div></div>

Trading Ceci would solve a lot of problems because it isn't about the player, it is about his cap hit. If he is a bottom pairing guy on this current team that place could easily be filled with someone already in the organization for a fraction of his salary and then there would no longer be any cap restraints when it comes to acquiring a capable NHL backup. I don't know why so may people are having a hard time understanding this.

Don't hate the player, hate the cap hit. It really is THAT simple.

Thread: top 10 centers
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>beanie2911</b></div><div>draw point is fair, but I think Matthews is overacted by leaf fans but also underrated by non leaf fans and it will never really be even. the guy is on pace for almost 50 goals this year. he's taken major steps as a playmaker too. his defensive game needs work but I think he is for sure in the top 5. would say he is better than Bergeron for sure.</div></div>

You are entirely correct that he is an amazing goal scorer, I mean 30+ in his first 3 years is terrific! But looking at his leadership, defensive play, and just watching his play on the ice, he is not a top 7 center. Maybe top? Sure!! But no if anyone thinks he is better than Bergy that is entirely wrong. Bergy excels in every aspect of hockey, and unfortunately he is getting older but at least this year still he is top 5
