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 wish to be, they’re going to need to type out the again finish. And that’s going to contain additions, or addition, for positive. 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 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 other people 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 have a look at that, that workforce defensively throughout that stretch of the playoffs, like after the Vancouver sequence, 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 nicely defensively. Sure, they’ve horses up entrance. I perceive that, however they had been capable of play nicely defensively, and their penalty kill was wonderful. That’s been a battle this yr.
Futa: “I feel he’s one other one which, together with one other defenseman on the Oilers that you simply’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 when you can have San Jose retain after which perhaps 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 thing that Nashville did seems so superb, and then you definitely’re like, ‘Man, this isn’t working, or it’s not discovering the chemistry.’
You realize precisely this man’s gonna slide into like a glove. He’s most likely nonetheless obtained 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 area when could be greatest, nonetheless obtained 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 fellows, It’s type of no brainer.
Futa: “The fellows been nice. For the reason that 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 most likely 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. Huge man right-handed shot, then he suits in simply advantageous.
