Sujet: Another Dubas classic trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>coga16</b></div><div>Zaitsev needed to be moved but you can say you got arguably worse losing Brown and taking on Ceci over Zaitsev. thats why it was train wreck, wasted season over playing Ceci</div></div>

I have no idea how you think Zaitsev was better than Ceci last year: every statistical measure shows that he was worse. And sure, I get that he was on a bad team, but even the year prior he was just as poor with Toronto as Ceci was in Ottawa. The key difference is that Dubas traded away 5 years of Zaitsev for 1 year of Ceci. The Connor Brown part of that trade is inconsequential as he was a 3rd liner at best and as we saw last year, we have no shortage of depth guys there that can fill that role. Even this coming season, Nick Roberston and Alex Barabanov will easily fill the void that Connor Brown would also fill. Losing him is literally no big deal.

I think there'll be at least 1 more move coming with Andreas Johnsson being traded. That frees up $3.4m in cap space which I can see being used on a UFA RHD like Dylan DeMelo to play on the top pair with Rielly. I would be perfectly content with that as he's physical, defensively responsible and capable of making a good breakout pass.

The top-six is exceptional with Mathews-Marner and Tavares-Nylander; Kerfoot is solid as a 3C and I think Barabanov is going to impress with his speed, strength and tenacity much like Mikeheyev did last year. The hole is for sure on defence, but Mikko Lehtonen is the real deal: led all KHL dmen in scoring and finished 6th overall in league scoring last year. That followed his performance in the 2019 World Championships where he won gold with Finland and was named to the tournament All Star team along with Mark Stone, William Nylander, Jakub Voracek, Filip Hronek and Andrei Vasilevskiy. I fully expect Lehtonen will QB the 2nd PP unit and move up to the second pairing with Muzzin very early in the season. That would make our 3rd pairing Sandin-Holl which I'm nervous about... which I why I hope they trade Johnsson and add DeMelo.
