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 should type out the again finish. And that’s going to contain additions, or addition, for positive. 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 suppose 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 group defensively throughout that stretch of the playoffs, like after the Vancouver collection, 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 capable of play properly defensively. Sure, they’ve horses up entrance. I perceive that, however they have been capable of play properly defensively, and their penalty kill was wonderful. That’s been a battle this 12 months.
Futa: “I believe he’s one other one which, together with one other defenseman on the Oilers that you simply’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. A bit excessive in what he’s getting in San Jose, however in the event you 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 speak about your buying and selling for any individual, that every little thing that Nashville did appears to be like so superb, and then you definately’re like, ‘Man, this isn’t working, or it’s not discovering the chemistry.’
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 must 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 area when can be finest, 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 appreciated him. Oh, so I don’t, it’s the fellows, It’s sort of no brainer.
Futa: “The blokes been nice. Because the Ottawa 67’s, he’s been a pacesetter 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. Similar 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. Massive man right-handed shot, then he suits in simply effective.
