So Lucas, according to you, we are missing something that can't be taught. But we don't need to add any personnel.

I tried to warn the fanbase, but it fell on deaf ears. It was very clear (from an unbiased opinion) that the Leafs defense was lacking. In fact, the Ceci trade is looking worst and worst by the day.

The leafs need a way to an actual defensemen, but now they are lacking their 1st. Who goes and to where? Nylander? Kap?

Ceci hasn't been horrible

It would be awesome though if this team missed the playoffs and didnt have our 1st round pick.

So good in here

He played against 2nd and 3rd lines....Id say he did well for a 7th D.

I think some team will pick him up for a 6th round pick.

- Santo_44


Agreed that he played well for who HE is.

I am completely unsure on his value. We are so used to disliking him that it's hard to gauge his worth. More than 50% of me is pretty sure he'd clear waivers, but there's still that feeling that someone with a thin blue line might claim him.

I don't think we can get a 7th for him as I think we have all the 7th round picks except our own.

He has been better than the screaming fanbases told us in the offseason.

He is a totally different D than I thought though.

I think he has value around the league as a 7th D.

Fans hate on him too much.

I read an article about the Oilers and it said Marincin would be an uprgade over its depth D.

Does everyone see opposing forwards dancing right through Rielly on a nightly basis? I guess he gets a free pass because he scores?

He has never been good at defending on the rush.

Hainsey was actually pretty damn good at it, Ceci is as abysmal as Rielly in that department.

It is why we are noticing it more this season IMO.

I think we still need time and a full squad. I'm a firm believer having JT and Hyman in the lineup will help the leafs.

but yeah, we need more heart and we need more dedication to winning.

Thank you. I try to help when I can.

If the pick is top 10, you'll get the pick and give up your 2021 1st.

Ahh if only the fan base had listened we would have totally been able to get Dubas to do otherwise.

I don't even have to check your team affiliation.
If you saw something that was "very clear" that the rest of us didn't, you're a hawk fan.

that would be great, but only 1 team is over 50% at 60% ...the fuking Broons

since you have leading/trailing/tied ..50% Leading would be elite

You ever had a charlie horse?

Muzz will have to be eased back in the lineup until at least January.

Might even need career ending surgery.

Why not trade him for your own 7th - would break both HB and the internet

Is the deal contingent on him staying on the Marlies roster and never being called up again to play for the Leafs?
