The gap between Larsson and Ceci is greater than Landy and Hall. Not to mention the consensus was that the Oilers got a bad return but they traded from a position of strength to shore up a position of weakness. Right now the avs have as big a hole on forwards as they do defence.
That's your opinion. Mine is that the gap between Hall and Landeskog is about the same as Larsson and Ceci. No problem recognizing that the gap is a bit bigger for the D-men though, but not at the point that this gap is worth 24 y/o speedster Ryan Dzingel plus picks (like the poster said)
I have like I said I'm from Ottawa. As I said he has to prove that he more than just a flash in the pan many players look good initially only to flame out when they get battled tested.
Dzingel looked good last season. This season he has looked great. His speed, skill, tenacity, IQ and even defensive awareness will make him an effective NHL forward. He's pretty similar to Carl Hagelin in fact and I have been saying that for a while.
WOW 2 assists maybe you should hold out For McDavid?
ok I'll give you a mulligan for that immature comment
... like I said he wouldn't be at risk to being exposed. If he was as good as you claim. Spez said there's a chance he would get exposed and there's a thread about it on your board.
Again, you totally misunderstood the whole discussion but whatever it is too far back now. I can guarantee you that Ceci is NOT going to be exposed at the expansion draft. Heck, I would almost bet one of my houses on it.
I read the Sens board enough and I haven't seen anyone suggest that the Sens should expose Ceci for the draft, even from his haters (because every player (except Alfie/Karlsson/Stone) has haters on the Sens board, that's how it is)
Either way it seems like he won't be a sens player next year. Either by trade or being exposed. The sens feel that the 31 year old Methot is more valuable then a top 4 minute munching defender that has offensive potential and is only 23 years old. It speaks volumes of how the sens perceive Ceci
What.the.heck. are you talking about? Are you trying to make as a fact some HF speculation? That's one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen on HF and God knows how much crappy stuff I have been reading here
Now please find quotes where what you are saying is linked to the REAL WORLD.
If they trade Ceci, it will be to ensure that they wouldn't lose Methot for nothing and to actually get a good young forward back. Hoping they find a way to keep everybody but hard to avoid the expansion draft rules.
Aw...the pain of that trade reverberates through me monthly. And I was happy to move on from him, but the return...Damn NTC. We could have had Hornqvist +, but good old Spezza didn't want to play in Nashville.
In hindsight he probably had a better chance in Nashville. I hate NTCes.
Yeah, Spezza should have just went to Nashville. Not sure if they would have still traded for Ryjo but they could have a great team with Ryjo, Spezza, Forsberg, Subban, Josi, etc.. Sens would have gotten Hornqvist and a 1st (maybe Larkin?). Would have been great if Ottawa could have gotten that for 1 year of Spezza. But like you said, damn NTC.
That being said, I wish the fanbase (and medias) learned about this because I'm sure they didn't help Spezza's value with all that scapegoating and "addition by subtraction" crap...
