This is a whole bunch of 'no' for me due to your changes on D.
I'll start by stating that dumping Ceci shouldn't cost a 2nd & also shouldn't be an aim. Even if I assume that's what it would cost, that cost would be reduced by taking on Zaitsev at 2.25mil for this year. The only reason to be moving him is for an upgrade or for a change in style. With your trades, I'd say you failed to upgrade as you made the D corps (arguably) worse, older, less L-R balanced & failed to address the key issues with Ceci (meaning there's no also no stylistic change): skating & puck moving ability. Both Maatta and Zaitsev are also below average skaters and ineffective puckmovers.
And, to finalise my point, I don't see the changes/upgrades at F being worth what you've done to the D corps & asset pool.
