Toronto Maple Leafs GM Says Cody Ceci Will Play in Top-Four
There are only 28 days until the regular season starts for the Toronto Maple Leafs and I’m excited.
But, what I’m not excited about is, the Toronto Maple Leafs defense debacle.
The Leafs traded Connor Brown, Nikita Zaitsev for essentially Cody Ceci and Ben Harpur. To me, it’s a fair trade and we got rid of the Zaitsev contract, as well as Brown’s subtle cap hit that some people cared about.
When Ceci came to the Leafs he was an RFA, meaning the Leafs could’ve or could not have offered him a contract. But, Kyle Dubas is a people’s GM, he wants the players to respect him and I like him for doing that. So, Dubas didn’t walk away from Ceci, he decided to sign him.
