I just think we are already are one of the best teams in the league on the wing. Somehow we need to improve the defence and subtract to add doesn’t help unless we are getting some big shot. Tough to do but hopefully they figure something out. A trade like this could works if we had a secondary trade in place to move out a winger and bring in another RH defencemen 

I wouldn't say it's subtracting to add help; Myers costs 2x of what Ceci does, so in essence you're getting Myers for half price by getting Ceci, then if/ when Poolparty's value improves (e.g. if they put him on PP 1 and he starts scoring) then we could flip his $3 million contract to address defensive needs (with injuries, inevitably some team will want a winger, either Miller or Poolparty or someone else, and we'd have a prime asset to flip for that RD from a desperate team e.g. if the Islanders don't land Kadri and still have scoring issues, we could flip Poolparty say for Mayfield).

I'd drive management to the airport if they were stupid enough to retain salary for more than one season.
