Sportsnet: Ceci undergoes an arbitration hearing

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

If Ottawa has a good analytics guy on staff he could absolutely destroy Ceci in a hearing.

i'm a bad analytics guy and I could destroy Ceci. his metrics are terrible

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

There is a clip where he gives the puck away in the neutral zone to an opposing player without a stick. You wan't what?
He has to dust the puck off for a good couple seconds before he shoots it..... pretty much every time.. And then when he does he hits the goalie in the crest.

 

[Brock Radunske]

I love that fans of every team are flocking to the Sens defence on this one.

No fanbase deserves to be subject to Cody Ceci being signed for $6M/year, even for one year. None.

Absolutely.
Imagine the contract dominoes that would topple.
Every plug would say "Look what he got. Give me 12 Mil"
Hell, I might qualify for $1 mil based on that comparison.

 

[TeddyBare]

If Ceci get's even close to $6 million you might as well have a lockout right now.

This is getting out of hand.

*In walks Karlsson*
"Ceci got $6 mil, soooo Imma need $45 mil"
*Melnyk turns to dust and blows away*

 

[Stuzchuk]

any chance that the arbitrator give him less than his QO (3.35M) or the QO needs to be respected no matter what??

Is there a video on youtube of this?

 

[justafan22]

Still he was the last one. 2011.

MacArthur was the last decent player who's team walked away from him.

 

[joestevens29]

Arbitration is probably the best way for Ottawa to get cheaper contracts for this season.

Unfortunately going through the process usually burns bridges so long-term they are screwed.

No.

MacArthur was in 2010. Campoli in 2011.

Ah ok.. decent...

*Melnyk turns to dust and blows away*

Melnyk: “Mr Bettman....I don’t feel so good.“.

Bettman: “Are you alright?”

Melnyk: “I don’t know - I don’t know what’s happening”


Blows to dust

These guys are probably looking for their quickest ticket out of town anyway.

 

[NobleSix]

If arbiter goes down the middle at 4.5-4.75, does Ottawa take the contract, or release him?

I could see the Sens walking away from 4.75 for sure, especially with cheap ass Melnyk. Also, Ceci just isn't really that good to be honest.

Teams let RFA players walk for nothing?

 

[Fogelhund]

Teams let RFA players walk for nothing?

Granted UFA... ends up signing for $1 mil...

 

[robertocarlos]

Ceci- 6
Ott- 3.35

So 4.675?

 

[robertocarlos]

Granted UFA... ends up signing for $1 mil...

So sometimes the player loses. That's fair.

 

[AKL]

So 4.675?

I think 4.5M is probably about right for Ceci.

 

[Stuzchuk]

I think 4.5M is probably about right for Ceci.

hope that you're not serious here... Ceci was absolutely brutal all of last year. I'd take Patteryn over him at 4.5M and Patteryn is making half that salary

Based on what’s asked of him, his role on the roster, and trying to eat up UFA years? 4.5M would be about market rate. Maybe 4M. He already took the bridge deal, the price is going up from there.

 

[Langdon Alger]

The most impressive thing about Ceci is that he both sucks and blows.
