To anyone worried about the Maple Leafs' penalty kill: D.J. Smith just helped swipe three of Toronto's best killers in Hainsey, Zaitsev and Brown.

Leafs now have sens worse PK.... eco and Harpur played huge PK minutes

To be fair, Toronto is also Ottawa’s dumping ground. Ceci, Harpur, greening, cowen, etc. Lol

Never seen 2 teams (frank) themselves and the other team so many times. Lol

Nope. Garbage sits in a landfill not decomposing.

Ottawa is the landfill and Toronto is the green house.

You are giving us banana peels we just gave you a bag of trash and a 5$ tip for taking it.

Probably 4C, face off guy, depth/insurance. Can't argue with that for 700K.

The only way Kadri's gone is if Nylander steps into that role and I'm not sure they want that. Kadri's a 2C playing in the 3 hole, which makes us strong down the middle. Spazda in that 3 hole does not.

Yeah Spezza signing is a decent injury insurance signing as well. Ceci probably sucks just as much as Zaistev but I’m glad they got out of the term on Zaistevs deal. Maybe Ceci works out but I have my doubts.

Harpur more then likely won’t even play for the Leafs.

Ya but Phanuef no retention > Anything the Sens ever did

After Lou (frank)ed the Sens, all he left them were a couple of rolled up $1 Canadian Tire bills. Savage.

He could, but he's not as good as Kadri, that's my point: Kadri at 3C gives us strength/depth down the middle far greater than just Spezza there.
- gravyface

We don't need a Kadri level player there.

We do need a D however.

I thought Spezza was really solid in the playoffs and showed some life in the second round. For one year, not a bad signing at all.

Did James Reimer get bought out yesterday?

I wonder if the leafs pick him up on the cheap for a backup.

More minutes for AM will offset Kadri being moved

no issues with spezza as 4th line C. upgrade on the goat.

He would be good, but I think price and term were both problems.

He might have to unless you plug one of your young prospects into the lineup. Probably a better option, but maybe not ideal for their development.

Jokes on you Dorthy . TheGoat moves to 3C after the wizard of Naz gets traded

Ceci's a long shot reclamation project, but as a 6/7 (dear god, please, not top 4) he's low-risk and doesn't make us worse.

1.5 one year to dallas. plus bonuses

I'll take Ceci at 4.3

Yikes.

In fairness to Hainsey, we got to see him play a bit on his strong side on the second pairing and he looked quite capable.
