Sportsnet 590 The FAN: Matt Marchese and Mike Futa speaking about if the Edmonton Oilers ought to deliver again defenseman Cody Ceci.
** NHLRumors.com transcription
Futa: “For them to get to the place they need to be, they’re going to must kind 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’d 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 most important Cody Ceci fan, however I see what he meant to their penalty kill.
And we take a look at that, that crew 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 effectively defensively. Sure, they’ve horses up entrance. I perceive that, however they had been capable of play effectively defensively, and their penalty kill was wonderful. 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 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. A little bit 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 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 individual, that every part that Nashville did appears to be like so superb, and then you definitely’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 bought 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 house when can be finest, nonetheless bought 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 favored him. Oh, so I don’t, it’s the blokes, It’s form of no brainer.
Futa: “The blokes been nice. Because the Ottawa 67’s, he’s been a pacesetter 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. Similar 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. Huge man right-handed shot, then he matches in simply superb.
