Sportsnet 590 The FAN: Matt Marchese and Mike Futa speaking about if the Edmonton Oilers ought to carry again defenseman Cody Ceci.
** NHLRumors.com transcription
Futa: “For them to get to the place they wish to be, they’re going to must type out the again finish. And that’s going to contain additions, or addition, for certain. We have been speaking yesterday, I 100% see the return of Ceci.
Marchese: “I used to be going to say, you, you talked about I, I do know, like I laughed about it, however I simply assume it’s hilarious that they make him, they might make him and it does make sense, as a result of he’s been there, he’s been within the system. And folks can say, I’m not, I’m not the most important Cody Ceci fan, however I see what he meant to their penalty kill.
And we take a look at that, that staff defensively throughout that stretch of the playoffs, like after the Vancouver sequence, they have been actually good. Like they have been actually good towards Dallas. Even towards the Panthers, they’re down three cob after which they arrive again. That’s as a result of they have been in a position to play properly defensively. Sure, they’ve horses up entrance. I perceive that, however they have been in a position to play properly defensively, and their penalty kill was glorious. That’s been a battle this yr.
Futa: “I believe he’s one other one which, together with one other defenseman on the Oilers that you just’re ranking him once more to this contract, which was out, it was excessive. For what Ceci brings to to the desk, it was excessive. Slightly excessive in what he’s getting in San Jose, however if you happen to can have San Jose retain after which possibly overpay on the belongings you’re giving up, you’re getting a man that there’s no, there’s no grey space.
We discuss your buying and selling for anyone, that every part that Nashville did appears to be like so wonderful, and you then’re like, ‘Man, this isn’t working, or it’s not discovering the chemistry.’
You recognize precisely this man’s gonna slide into like a glove. He’s in all probability nonetheless acquired a spot on the town. Is aware of all his teammates. He’s gone on the long term in order that’s not one thing that he needs to be regenerate, re-invigorated about, as a result of he simply did it final yr.
And once more, for me, with what their gap is, and once more, lack of cap house when could be greatest, nonetheless acquired to determine what’s going to occur when Evander Kane will get again, what they’re going to do money-wise there.
We are able to ask, we had Jeff Jackson on, Jeff Jackson on tomorrow. It’ll be, he’s a match. He’s a extremely good match.
Marchese: “Yeah, heis. And once more, he is aware of the system. He’s been there. There’s and by all accounts, and his teammates actually favored him. Oh, so I don’t, it’s the blokes, It’s type of no brainer.
Futa: “The fellows been nice. Because the Ottawa 67’s, he’s been a frontrunner in all places he’s been. I imply, whether or not you, I imply, he was in all probability overpaid a bit when he was in Toronto. Identical factor. Folks get it knocked due to their contract, however not due to their effectivity. I imply, if this man’s, if this man’s your 5 or your 4, with penalty killing upside. Massive man right-handed shot, then he matches in simply nice.
