Sportsnet 590 The FAN: Matt Marchese and Mike Futa speaking about if the Edmonton Oilers ought to convey again defenseman Cody Ceci.
** NHLRumors.com transcription
Futa: “For them to get to the place they need to be, they’re going to must type out the again finish. And that’s going to contain additions, or addition, for certain. We had 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’d 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 largest 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 collection, they had been actually good. Like they had been actually good in opposition to Dallas. Even in opposition to the Panthers, they’re down three cob after which they arrive again. That’s as a result of they had been capable of play properly defensively. Sure, they’ve horses up entrance. I perceive that, however they had been capable of play properly defensively, and their penalty kill was glorious. That’s been a wrestle this 12 months.
Futa: “I feel he’s one other one which, together with one other defenseman on the Oilers that you just’re score him once more to this contract, which was out, it was excessive. For what Ceci brings to to the desk, it was excessive. Somewhat excessive in what he’s getting in San Jose, however should you can have San Jose retain after which perhaps overpay on the property 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 any person, that every part that Nashville did seems to be so wonderful, and you then’re like, ‘Man, this isn’t working, or it’s not discovering the chemistry.’
You understand precisely this man’s gonna slide into like a glove. He’s in all probability nonetheless received 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 12 months.
And once more, for me, with what their gap is, and once more, lack of cap house when can be finest, nonetheless received 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 very 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 preferred him. Oh, so I don’t, it’s the fellows, It’s type of no brainer.
Futa: “The blokes been nice. Because the Ottawa 67’s, he’s been a frontrunner in every single place 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. Individuals 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. Huge man right-handed shot, then he matches in simply positive.
