Leafs should trade Ceci+ for Ristolainen (with 1 mil held). Easily makes our top 4 better and if he's pissed at buffalo, why wouldn't you want him playing a bunch of games against them? Plus, he's 6'4 and had 235 hits last year. Adds some grit on the backend.

Agreed. What's the plus? I might disagree.

No clue, that's for leafs brass to figure out. I'd say a middling prospect.

I see no reason why the Sabres would take on another mess, eat salary, for a crap prospect.

Get rid of a player who doesn't want to be there? Ceci isn't terrible. He might do well there and they can resign him. I was thinking someone like timashov might interest them.

Ok. Agree to disagree.

I don't at all think the Sabres would do that trade with the Leafs but I will also be really shocked if they get anything good for NorRistolainen, because he really sucks.

I think theyll get something decent. Without having to take on a junk player and eat salary.

Ok. Agree to disagree.

If Ceci works out, they can trade him at the deadline. Everyone always needs right shot defense.

Uh,

You don't think some other team could do MUCH better than that bag of crap?

Do you know much about the guy the Sens got on D for Stone? Brannstrom?

I kinda dont mind the team is being run by a young nerd as opposed to some old fart.

I'm guessing he's a 1st pairing D within 3 years. Elite skater

Brännström is my boy. I'm way too biased on him my man.

McPhee dealt Forsberg for garbage, this time, he got some goods in Stone, but Ottawa got 2 years of a guy who will be a premium puck mover before he refuses to sign for peanuts.

I believe he'll be great too. From what I've heard/read more than seen. And I've seen him play 0 times. But I saw some NHL ranking of prospects and they had Sandin higher than him. Could it be close, regarding their potential?

I like the job he has done so far. It isn't perfect, I didn't like the Muzzin trade, but he had a really tough situation this summer and is very close to coming away without too much damage.
