Speculation: Cody Ceci Arbitration Ask

[Setec Astronomy]

wait what? That can't be real.

There were fairly credible reports that Ottawa turned down a Hall for Ceci trade when Hall was still with Ottawa. So if you get to cross-examine the other side during these hearings, I definitely bring that up. Dorian will get to dump on Ceci, so his camp might as well give it back to Ottawa.

 

[Morgs]

Arbitration are 1 year deal (or 2 in few case)

The NHL is no fun.

 

[Qward]

I would have offered him league minimum

 

[Taytro]

he still isn't worth 4.5 million

3 million is still an overpayment for him.

He really is bad.

Should be 1 year at $2.5 million

This is my thought. I didnt think he had played well for the last little while. Even if he plays hard minutes or in the top 4 he hasn't proven anywhere close to that ask, hes just not that good.

 

[Maukkis]

You know it's going to be a great arbitration case when even the team's offer is an overpayment.

 

[Hotlanta]

If they let him walk, I bet Toronto would at least throw him an offer on a one year deal. Even if its an overpayment in the 4-4.5M range, they have 1 year of cap space. With Hainsey needing less minutes, Ceci could be a fill in partner for Gardiner/Rielly and Hainsey could play with Dermott. Assuming Ozhiganov, and Liljegren need time in the minors, and Carrick can be the 7D.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Lol. The team ask is an overpayment.

The last thing Toronto needs is a horrific RHD making a chunk of money.

The NHL is no fun.

But they'll have to qualify him at his new AAV.

 

[YP44]

I criticized the Ducks for their Montour offer, but I think the Sens are being very fair here.

If Ceci was awarded $6 million, I'd just let him walk.

I don't think they could

That's total nonsense.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

I'd rather have an empty roster/contract slot than Cici at 6 million.

At 3.5 for one year I'd have to think about it. No way the Arbiter should split down the middle.

Especially when we already have Zaitsev filling that role.

And Hainsey, although he's not going to stick around for long.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Well you'd have to sign someone for that spot, and next year is not OTT's year to tank.

A one year deal at 3.5 at least limits the long term damage.

I'm shocked things like this are not moderated better around here


If something was fairly credible and reported it should be easy to find a link

I believe what was reported from a not so credible individual is that an offer like that existed but Edm chose to go elsewhere ie they probably thought larsson was better

 

[Korpse]

wait what? That can't be real.

It's not. Dreger reported Ottawa and Edmonton discussed Hall. The closest they were to a deal was for Ceci. It needed ownership clearance but he was traded to NJD before anything happened on the Ottawa side. Hall for Ceci was discussed but saying Ceci was too valuable to trade for Hall is a huge stretch.

The posters version of what was reported is significantly altered.

 

[Pi]

Ceci will get 4.5M+ (undeserved) simply because he was played a lot by his coach. He's not that good but he's got a high TOI which apparently matters a lot in arbitration for D's.

This is the article.

Edmonton Oilers GM Peter Chiarelli was willing to move Taylor Hall for Cody Ceci, TSN's Dreger reports. Hmmmm

It's an arbitration hearing where Ottawa's representative will be dumping all over Ceci. So Ceci should bring up that Ottawa never pulled the trigger on a trade for Hall. I wouldn't be concerned with why the trade never materialized. Let Ottawa say that they didn't do it because the owner is too cheap. So, what you're saying Mr. Dorian is you make offers to players not based on what they're worth, but what your boss can afford to pay? That'll go over real well.

 

[Cootsfanclub]

Has arbitration ever given less than the team's offer?

Or let Ottawa say Edmonton accepted another offer and then it becomes an irrelvant point. I’m not even sure show relevant a speculated trade discussion would be anyway.

 

[Hansen]

Sens can send Benning a thank you for signing a similar player in Gudbranson to 3 years 4M and inflating the market value on high-drafted defensive plugs with size

 

[Upgrayedd]

Reports are that it had to go through ownership.

You can probably imagine what happened there.

I envision a Simpsons' scenario where Bart tries to explain Sideshow Bob's plan to murder aunt Selma via gas explosion multiple times to no avail only to explain it to Marge briefly "and we were on our way" in the Senators case "Marge" does not exist.

 

[ACC1224]

Good player but 6 seems a little inflated.
