The Toronto Maple Leafs are in an odd position. They are both in need of, and have an excess of defense. They could really use someone to help improve the blueline but also have a well-paid player who is an NHLer on any roster, Cody Ceci.
The Toronto Maple Leafs never know what they’ll be getting from Ceci. Some nights he stands out with a solid game, but then he turns in a historically awful performance the next.
The team needs consistent defenders who help them protect their own end. Since that doesn’t fit with Ceci’s current style of play, general manager Kyle Dubas needs to trade him.
