You may be struggling with the localized demographics of this metro area. For example, on the Quebec side you will find lots of Habs fans, both young and old, same thing with the east side of Ottawa (Orleans).

I highly doubt even one of the players offered by the Leafs even plays 200 NHL games.
Come back when you have something smart to say

Oh come on, skippy. Think about it for a second.
I live in Ottawa, and I was 10 years old when the Sens started playing.
My mom isn't a huge hockey fan, so in my case, if my dad was a hardcore Habs fan, or a hardcore Leafs fan, then I probably would have spent my first 10 years of life cheering for one of those teams right along side him.
But luckily he wasn't, and when the Sens came to town, we jumped on board and haven't looked back since.
Before 1992, pretty much the whole damn city was either a Habs or a Leafs supporter, and many of those families kept on supporting their teams. Now that there's a younger generation being born to families that still support their original teams, it shouldn't take a genius to figure out that there's still a lot of Habs and Leafs fans in the Ottawa region.

Good lord how did this thread actually reach 8 pages. It was a good laugh though hearing some leafs fans actually pass on the deal 
No he is not. Ottawa needs an over payment to trade Ceci, the team finally has a decent top-4 in ages and the acquisition of Phaneuf was exactly for that purpose. Phaneuf helps shore up the top-4, allowing Ceci to grow his game as a top-3 guy as opposed to somebody whose game regresses (or simply doesn't progress) with musical chairs as his partners (Cowen, Wiercioch, Boro).
Ceci is not being traded, and not for the OP package.

They have had practice imagining a good team for quite a while. So to be fair not everyone's imagination of a good player in diapers is quite as advanced.

You seem insecure. Yoy immediately resort to condescending comments.

So your random assumptions are smart? Good to know
Yep like you saying one thing, then backpeddalling and claiming you didnt say it
Lol this guy again making things up.

So either you were playing ignorant to the situation in Ottawa or actually are? Good day to you too, pal.

I'm really looking forward to Ceci's play this year.
He finally has a decent partner on that second pairing and he might have the go ahead to rush and move the puck more as he did at the World Championships.
He has a well-rounded skill set but more importantly he plays a cerebral game and makes a lot of smart plays when he's playing with confidence.
There are a few guys that I'll be watching particularly closely from a development point of view including Lazar, Pageau and Ceci because I think this upcoming year will say a lot about how they might project.

Or maybe I was just making an observation that didn't need an in depth discussion.
You're the guy that gets into an argument with someone who says good morning " what's so good about it? My coffee was cold and I woke up late"

You must be broke from all of those playoff tickets you bought in the Big Smoke over the last ten years.
Talk about a massive drain on your personal finances!!
Such nonsense ,we were undefeated.And Ceci was at the top of the list as far as production goes in that tourney.Team Canada played the favorite card and little else with Ellis.Reilly,s role on that team was far
different than Ceci,s wasLol no Ive never been to a playoff game in my life other than the ones I've played.
I was too young for the playoff appearances before the 4-1 collapse series so I've never had the chance to go to any playoff games.
I'll secretly cheer on the Sens while I'm here (except when they play the Leafs) and hopefully get to cheer them on through the playoffs.
I don't hate the Sens like I used to because of the Jonathan Pitre story and the fact that Karlsson is just so loveable.

No, he isn't. Ceci's value is significantly lower than Rielly, Matthews, Nylander or Marner.

Mr. HarrisonFord, perhaps you could represent the Leafs franchise and fanbase, and I will represent the Senators franchise and fanbase.
I propose that the acquisition of Cody Ceci by your Toronto Maple Leafs, while desirable to the rebuilding of your on-ice product, does not makes sense for the Ottawa Senators because the likely package of players and/or draft picks offered by your Toronto Maple Leafs does not make sense from a Senators perspective.
Furthermore, I would imagine that the counter proposal from my Ottawa Senators would not make sense to your Toronto Maple Leafs and the admirable rebuilding process that your team has embarked upon.
I applaud your team's dedication to rebuilding properly. I do not look forward to around 3 years from now when Matthews and Marner and Nylander and Rielly and anyone other young player that I have missed are all either very good or legit star players. You shall enjoy those years. I will not.
Let us now conclude this discussion and bid each other farewell.
can a Mod out there in Mod-land please put this thread out of it's miserable misery?
