wow some people just never give up building the negative, 950 posts, part 2...
Let's just agree that Ceci sucks and move on to something else, like watching the team go to the ECF?
So we can assume the Sens are going to expose Ceci in the expansion draft anyway since he is really bad but Vegas doesn't know YET, so they are going to pick him up. Problem solved. But actually, since the Sens management is totally inept, they won't do that so we might be stuck with Ceci until someday we finally realize how much he sucks, so we can dump him for an overpaid player ala Cowen
A lot of people can get annoyed by the constant bashing or harping on the scapegoats, they do that on their free agency. They don't need to be bitten by an evil vampire
Also, if you think that swapping Ceci for Beaulieu would be a good idea to improve your hockey club, I am then seriously suspecting your bias on this subject.
Totally... Weird to see people confound hockey IQ and fanning on a puck.
Good choice of words here. Yeah, I find it very disturbing too. Is Ceci known for stealing girlfriends in Ottawa or something? The microscope that has been put on him is one of the biggest i have seen in 10 years on HF Sens. It's definitely Cowen territory. Cowen's play deteriorated over time and injuries. Ceci keeps improving, that's weird.
So the premise here is that Boucher, Raymond and Crawford don't know much what they are doing.
I have also been told that putting more stock in their ideas rather than various posters on a message board is not a good argument.
Also, those ex NHLers and coaches at TVA/RDS keep praising Ceci, is it because they are lacking hockey IQ or something?
So what is it? Who should I listen to?

Did Xspyrit bite you or what?
No one is calling to buy out Ceci immediately and set him free. Among our prospects only Chabot has realistic potential to become a better player than Ceci is right now.
What most people want, is to stop trying to make solid top-4 defenceman Cody Ceci happen. It's not going to happen.
At 2.8M cap hit we can't keep him on the bottom pairing. He's a below average 2nd pairing defenceman without any offensive and physical game and suspect defense. If we want to have a solid top-4 defense unit we need to start looking for other options out there and make him part of the deal. HARPUR/CLAESSON/BORO/WIDEMAN are bottom pairing defencemen without any expectations and get paid accordingly.
As for other options, seems like Julien is not a fan of Nathan Beaulieu, scratching him in the playoffs. Wonder if we could swap him for Ceci to give both players a fresh start.

What was he thinking? Pretty sure it was "hit Hoffman with a breakout pass". Not exactly a "thinking" problem. He fanned on the puck under no pressure. Criticize his skill or execution, not the thought process.

I actually find it very disturbing how much of a goat Ceci is among the fan base. I guess that'll happen when you're basically the guy who's on the ice when Karlsson isn't, but its jarring to see the unrelenting bashing, even when the guy is playing well.

I don't think everyone agrees on this at all. We can agree that with GB deploys him as a top 4 defender on this team. Is it deserved?? That's the debate.
