When Hyman returns from injured reserve.

New Jersey Trades
Severson
5th Round Pick 2020

Toronto Trades
Kapanen
Ceci

Devil's need a some more offense upfront but would need a RHanded Shooting Defenceman coming back Trading Severson.

Leafs get some much needed Cap Space plus improve on Defense and Hyman takes over from Kapanen on the Tavares Line.


Thoughts ?

Not a bad trade. is severson much of an improvement from ceci? I say yes but enough for adding in kapanen? I say no but i'm sure there will be much differing opinions on this.

Hyman comes back and leafs need to shed 2.25-750k=1.5 million no matter what. This deal does that plus gives toronto 2 million or so.

So what do leafs do with extra 2 million? I like they play to the max so now how do the leafs add 2 million.

At least this deal gives them more possibilities.

I really like Ceci but I acknowledge Severson is the better player.

Poor Reilly. Imagine he had a solid partner.

Why would Jersey need a right handed defense coming back? They have Subban and Vatanen still. That’s why Severson might be available. Kapanen doesn’t make them contenders and Ceci is a cap dump.

Fair enough. kap for severson straight up. if that's not enough add low level prospects to stotts or kral. if severson not needed should be no issue . toronto needs to cover 700K though. or cap don't work.

With the way Ceci has been playing he’s definitely not a cap dump atleast not to the leafs.

14 Oct 2019 16:25:04
Then he would be a bottom line player at over 4 mill? Starting a new trend at massively overpaying depth players again vb?

15 Oct 2019 00:34:20
He’s on the top pairing? What are you talking abouT?

Sorry vb. I thought you posted. It was Pinball. If Ceci goes to NJ then he is a third line player behind Subban and Vatanen.
