Was Forbort a good signing for 1M x 1 ? and yet Ceci a bad signing at 250K more?

When the Leafs got Ceci I had the same thinking as you. I thought he was a physical dman ala Muzzin.
He ain't.
I watched probably 80% of Leaf games last season. He is not a physical dman. Dermot, Reilly, Muzzin off the top of.my head are way more physical.
I saw the hits stats too but they aren't hard hits. I don't know how they were tabulating hit for Ceci but it's flattering towards him for sure.
He is a black hole on offence and provides no physicality. He is solid defensively but I'm not sure he deserves more than league minimum at this point.
