Cody Ceci

My problem is then don't sign Ruh and Rik if you weren't going to trust them to be 6 and 7. Waste of their time and our cap space.

 

[Jacob]

Advanced stats aren’t real but I say yes. I think we’ll barely notice him good or bad.

You still need to have a 7 and 8 dman on the roster in case of injury. No team just carries 6 dmen. So Ruhwedel is not hurting the cap space and Riikola is only $450k extra cap space than a minimum salary player.

 

[Strakanator]

Carrying 8 D is incredibly dumb if you think any of your D prospects might be ready for the NHL.

If you want your prospects to get another year of seasoning and no NHL time, then it makes sense.

Pens are essentially shutting the door on the D prospects next year with this signing.

Nah, Marino made an even more impossible leap last year and the team cleared space for him in a hurry. If any of the kids can push Ceci out of the lineup, they will let them play, I think.

I dunno. I think this is different, tbh.

Well, I don't think it's Ceci they have to push out of the lineup, tbh. It's going to be Pettersson. Ceci is depth.

 

[Gurglesons]

Not really sure any player is going to be better than Pettersson in our prospect pool tbh.

JR’s brain during R.E.M.

 

[dogthateats]

He’s no Matt Hunwick

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Everyone said Gudbranson sucked, and I actually thought he was alright here. I wish we had him on our bottom pairing still. That stint gives me a glimmer of hope for Ceci

Gudbranson didn’t suck though, people just went straight to that mentality with him because he wasn’t who anyone wanted especially for Pearson, a bloke Sully didn’t seem to like using the correct way and yeah.

I liked Gudbranson in a 3rd pairing role with Riikola would have been the ideal 3rd pair, then you can keep Pettersson and Marino together, but we went from that to something horrific in record time.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Funny you say that, Matt Hunwick doesn’t even know who Matt Hunwick is, these days.

 

[Jacob]

Carrying more than 13 forwards and 7 D is a waste of cap space IMO. You can find Ruhwedel-caliber players on two-way deals, or just call up a Joseph or Maniscalco.

Riikola and Oleksiak (a somewhat similar player to Gudbranson) were the tandem that did so well in camp a couple of years ago, and many of us thought Riikola looked good enough to get some playing time in the regular season, but then "many of us" are not Mike Sullivan. If he succeeded with Oleksiak he probably could have done something similar alongside Gudbranson.

As far as Gud, people were pleasantly surprised by him here at first because everything we heard about him regarding his time in Vancouver placed him, on a scale of 1 to 10, at about -100. When he got to Pittsburgh he was a solid 2 on that scale -- way better than -100 but nobody you'd really want around, particularly with the contract he had.

how do you think that wastes cap space?. Im really interested in this answer.

i really dont think you understand how cap space works

I still wish they'd move Riikola to a team that will use him just so I can see if I was right or wrong about him. On the Pens we'll never know.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

I think he'll be worse than Ruhwedel and a waste of cap space, but not near as bad as JJ.

 

[EightyOne]

I was searching for "cody cici hits" and only found this one huge hit:

He has a hearing with the Department of Player Safety on Monday, now.

 

[Tom Hanks]

He has a hearing with the Department of Player Safety on Monday, now.

Suspended for the 2020/21 season

 

[Flying Dego]

Wow, I never knew Ceci had such a powerful stride. Also that aggression! Can I change my vote? Looks like Kasparitus is back.

Wasting cap space is how JR gets his rocks off.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Then none of the kids are ready yet, and possibly never will be, regardless of if we had signed Ceci or not.

I think you're right, but holy hell, are you and me ever hedging our bets here, SB.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Just wanted to make sure nobody was going to misrepresent me and suggest that I think Ceci will be the new JJ or anything. There's a spectrum here

 

[HandshakeLine]

A gradient of shitiness.
