I think Leafs need BOTH a defensive top 4RHD (to play with Rielly) and a 3C.
I'm sure many people won't like this target.

To Toronto
Ceci $1.625M (@50% retained)

To SJ
Niemela ELC
2025 7th

To Anaheim
2025 5th (50% retention, approx $800K i actual dollors)

Leafs get insurance with a defensive RHD who can play top4 minutes beside Rielly (in case Hakanpaa can't go) . IMO Myers, Timmins, Benoit are not the solution to play top 4 minutes in the playoffs.

SJ gets another young prospect and a late round draft pick.

Anaheim gets a 5th round pick for retaining approx. $800K

Later Leafs can target a 3C and still have good assets to use.

Thoughts?

Absolutely never ever ever ever.

Never.

Man the Ceci hate is real.

I'd probably do this. Ceci's issue wasn't that he's a horrible defenceman, he just isn't a top pairing guy. He's ideally a solid bottom pairing D, but was forced to play beside Mo.

You wanna get Ceci but don’t want Timmins, Benoit, or Myers? I don’t want any of the four. Maybe it’s time to give Niemela a shot? How long is he gonna be a prospect.

Ckps1976 I think Ceci would be better in the top4 paired with Rielly over either of Timmins, Myers & Benoit. One of these 3 will play on the bottom pair with OEL.

They can just punt Rielly
Would solve a lot of problems.

The biggest question might be, does Ceci play the right style of game to pair with Reilly.
Reilly (-14), at least this season, is NOT a top 4 defenseman.
Find a physical, stay at home defender and make him and Reilly the 3rd pairing.
Timmins actually has quite good numbers in his minutes when paired with OEL (+13) this season.

23 Jan 2025 03:12:43
Rielly was another -2, oel was a 0, so maybe we should look at bumping oel up a bit.

Neither Reilly nor Ceci are Top 4 defensemen.
