Quoting: johnston3504
he could perform much better on a roster like toronto you wont get a defense man of his caliber for 7 mill, raw stats are good but arent everything. over the last 7 seasons he has been over .68 ppg, i mean at his current rate you could offer less but i figured with the salary retention you would have to give up a little more. you cant seriously tell me that you think we would be better with ceci over subban? what do you thing a fair deal and salary retention would be?
Good GMs don't look into the past 7 seasons when they analyzing players but look at what that player can do now and in the future. Subban's .668ppg so what. It's the past and a some of that was on the PP. Is Subban going to see much PP time with the Leafs when Reilly, Barrie and Marner are the point man now? Fact is Subban is not a good defender.
Sorry, I think this just another trade and rant saying how bad Ceci has been this season. Certainly you could argue that Ceci has been better than Barrie and any other RHD the Leaf have had for the first 26 games. Plus Ceci had to partner with irresponsible defensively Reilly for for much of the season.
No the on ice value between Ceci and Subban isn't much...,especially at the cost of the Johnsson and the additional cap the Leafs would have to endure with Subban, this year and two years.
There was reason the Devils got Subban so cheaply....He was a cap dump, though he still an NHL calibre Dman. Yea maybe a 4.5m player
No thanks on seeing Subban in a Leaf uniform....but Lindsay Vonn in one,,,that would OK.
