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 wish to be, they’re going to need to kind 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 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 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 sequence, they have been actually good. Like they have 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 have been capable of play nicely defensively. Sure, they’ve horses up entrance. I perceive that, however they have been capable of play nicely defensively, and their penalty kill was wonderful. That’s been a wrestle this yr.
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. Slightly excessive in what he’s getting in San Jose, however in the event 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 speak about your buying and selling for someone, that the whole lot that Nashville did appears to be like so wonderful, and then you definitely’re like, ‘Man, this isn’t working, or it’s not discovering the chemistry.’
You already know precisely this man’s gonna slide into like a glove. He’s most likely 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 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 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 fellows, It’s form of no brainer.
Futa: “The blokes 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. 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 suits in simply fantastic.
