The Ottawa Senators sent Ceci to the Toronto Maple Leafs, along with a couple of AHL players and a draft pick, in exchange for Connor Brown and Nikita Zaitsev.
The trade was weird on several levels.
For example: how is the “sweetener” of this trade Connor Brown, a fourth liner who is overpaid and who the Leafs would have happily given away?
or: why do the Leafs also get a draft pick in exchange for the Senators helping them out?
but the weirdest thing is: why are the Leafs trading for Cody Ceci?
Toronto Maple Leafs and Codi Ceci
Ceci is a big guy, and he’s right handed.
