For the last several years, the Ottawa Senators have taken a passive approach to the yearly Free Agent Frenzy, never seeming to do more than make a couple of cheap, short-term depth signings. However, on July 1st, 2019, they opted to make a bit of a splash in the form of a trade with a division rival, a trade that initially sent fans into a frenzy.
To no fault of their own, Ceci and Harpur were thrown into roles by the team that they couldn’t perform in, and when the trade was announced, many fans on Twitter were relieved, and curious as to what the return was.
