Of course. He played much harder minutes than they did. We've been over this.

I don't buy that's the only reason once you consider his time in Pittsburg, Toronto, and Ottowa

And Ceci's "relative to teammates" stats are better than Pesce's, whom he's effectively being swapped for here (at tremendous cost).

Hahahaha... no not a chance

Well then, I guess you have to admit Ceci is better than you thought.

I will admit Ceci had a good season and Pesce had a down one but when you look at the last few years (2020-21 to now regular seasons) instead of this last year... Pesce is better than Ceci

CF% Relative: Pesce -2.06 - Ceci -3.46
GF/60 Relative: Pesce -.17 - Ceci -.4
GA/60 Relative: Pesce .3. - Ceci -2
HDCF/60% Relative: Pesce -2.74 - Ceci -8.17

I generally trust multi-year trends over one year ones especially when your consider those two guys ages
