Eklund Rumor: Vancouver interested in Cody Ceci

[edguy]

Bobby Ryan, Cody Ceci for Loui Eriksson, Johnathon Dahlen, Olli Joulevi

I can't imagine VAN has soured that much on Juolevi and Dahlen..

 

[Clayonator]

This is a huge stretch in value for Ceci, the Canucks don’t need more defenceman who suck. Plus isn’t he an RFA with arbitration eligibility and a 4+ million dollar qualifying offer? Canucks made this mistake with Gudbranson already.

I agree with you. But it’s also Jim Benning.

Great, Ceci is a such a great player that we are prepared to pay a ransom to acquire him.

Gudbranson, Pouliot, Sutter, Beagle, and Eriksson for Ceci and first round pick.

Bargain of the year.

Gubranson and Ceci on the same team? Please don't do that to Pettersson

We desperately need Jack Hughes, Benning is helping us to get a high draft pick.

I'm not too familiar with Ceci's game. Is he really the tire fire that Gudbranson is?

 

[Beville]

A bag of pucks would be enough for me, please.

No return other than “future considerations” would disappoint me.

 

[me2]

A pairing of Ceci and Gudbranson would be a sight to behold.

Both of Ottawa's 2019 seconds and Ceci for an inconsequential piece should be about fair. What Benning would do is unlikely to be that, though.

A 6th or 7th would be enough to make him go at this point given Ceci's contract runs out June. Any team, including Ottawa, can just walk away and not qualify him.

While Ceci isn't a long term problem, Gudbranson on the other hand has two more years left after this one. A Ceci-Gudbranson swap would be amazing for Vancouver, it would be like getting a cap free Gudbranson buyout by letting Ceci walk.

Worse

 

[vanarchy]

All of your terrible dmen are belong to us.

You're next, Zaitsev.

Absolutely

 

[Lonny Bohonos]

True. Jack can replace a despondent Pettersson who gives up all hope because Bennings team sucks.

 

[drewjenks]

if ceci goes to vancouver, what would the return be? could any players on vancouver interest ottawa?

I think the return would be not having Ceci ....

 

[drewjenks]

All your terrible dmen are belong to us.

You're next, Zaitsev.

Zaitsev is fine.

He just gets a a bad rep because he's on Toronto & overpaid by $1.2 million.

You try covering up Gardiner's mistakes ....

 

[JaegerDice]

Well I for one am shocked that the same braintrust that wanted Erik Gudbranson would want Cody Ceci.

Shocked.

 

[JaegerDice]

Zaitsev is fine.

Gardiner is good, albeit flawed.

Zaitzev is not good.

 

[drewjenks]

Gardiner is good, albeit flawed.

Zaitzev is not good.

He'd be Ottawa's 2nd best d-man though.

[Numbers]

Ceci for Gudbranson. Simple

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

lol

So... Zaitsev sucks. After Chabot Ottawa has an AHL caliber Defense.... Whch is exactly what Zaitsev is.

He's the Leafs only real bad contract so they aren't in bad shape that way. Still, they'd love to be free of it if they could be I'm sure.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

On the other hand Leaf fans tell me Zaitsev has had an all star caliber season and they see more of him than anyone else. I've heard them compare him to a prime Carl Brewer. Why would they lie?

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Ceci is one of the worst top 4 guy i’ve seen in the last decade.

Tbh he shouldn’t be one.

 

[Cogburn]

Gudbranson or Sutter would be ideal.

Eriksson might be more of a benefit for Ottawa's owner. He makes 6 million on paper the next three seasons but only 2 and 3 in the last two seasons.

I'm sure Eriksson will approve that trade.....
