Ah yes, the always accurate HF board message board value chart trumping the real
World.
Hilarious. Spin this however you want, if it's going to make you feel better.
Did the Carolina Hurricanes give the Maple Leafs 'a break' when they were desperate to get cap space and wanted to get rid of Patrick Marleau ? No, it cost a 1st round pick.
Did the Montreal Canadiens give the Calgary Flames 'a break' when they were desperate to get cap space and wanted to get rid of Sean Monahan ? No, it cost a 1st round pick.
Now Ceci doesn't have the same cap hit as those guys BUT those teams weren't facing a double-offer sheet with only 1 week to make a decision and try and get something done.
A 3rd round pick is terrible value for that given situation and the only people suggesting otherwise are either sharks fans or oiler fans (because they feel bad their GM pulled one over on your GM).
He should still be able to recup at least a 2nd at the 2025 TDL by trading Ceci to a contender (well, that's the theory but then again, who knows with this guy, jeez) but that still doesn't mean that he didn't get enough with the original transaction.
It's weird because if he wanted to see how it's done -> see Kent Hughes, GM Montreal Canadiens
This JUST f***ing happened!!
