So we signed Cody Ceci to fill in that 2nd pairing RHD spot and he is signed for 4 years, how long can he keep Bouchard from taking his spot (leapfrogging him in Time on Ice)?
Where's the "He already has" option?
$3.25M is fat now? It seems to me a decent amount that if he's passed by a guy on ELC, it works nicely.Ceci is awful so it shouldn't be long, except for one thing. They handed ceci a fat 4 year deal and having him drop to bottom pairing would look really bad.

Yes, it's definitely going to cost the team a Yamamoto or a Bouchard.In a buyout-laden frozen cap world, a 3.25m contract with term isn’t a small contract. Maybe Ceci’s isn’t ‘fat’ but its no budget deal, and you only get to pay a few guys over 3m if you are paying others 12.5. We’ll be lucky if we’re looking back at this signing in a few years in the same way we ruefully worried over Kris Russel’s 4M deal. It’s going to prevent us from re-signing certain players, or improving the defence in a meaningful way.

Ceci is our 2nd pair RHD. A downgrade on Larsson, but a cheaper one. Many say he should fall to bottom pairing duties. I dont think soI thought Ceci was our 5/6 guy? If so, this year
