90% of Oilers fans would move Ceci if a difference maker is coming back. Think some one like Parayko. There is always 1 or 2 players that get ripped by a few fans. Ceci is playing top pairing minutes and while Nurse has been very good since he got a puck to the head, knocked some sense to him. Let's face it Nurse's game isn't about helping his D partner. Ceci is probably a number 4 guy playing number 2 and he is holding his own. Put Ceci with Ekholm and he would look fantastic
Basically this, if you could put Ceci on a 2nd pairing that was just expected to go out and eat minutes without much fanfare you wouldn't hear many complaints about him. He worked super well with the corpse of Keith in that role in that very role a few seasons back. But playing with Nurse, on a pairing that gets a lot of offensive icetime with the top 2 lines, he just feels out of place and unable to contribute.
Imo his ideal partner is someone like Gavrikov, Marcus Pettersson or even Kulak. But that's part of Ceci's problem in Edmonton: Kulak-Desharnais have been outstanding in their role, so it's hard to justify taking Vinny out to put Ceci in his ideal spot.
