TSN: (Ian Mendes): Not much progress between Ceci (RFA) and Ottawa

[Bongsong]

I wouldn't be surprised if he gets dealt at the draft. Especially if we're getting a package similar in The Score for Hoffman.

Your not

When's the last time a Canadian team had a paid attendance under 10,000? Because I think the Sens will hit it next season.

Because Ceci has yet to start negotiating his next contract? Lol that’s actually one of the dumbest things I’ve read on here, impressive.

No because the future is bleak and the amount of unhappy players.

2nd pairing hand handed d-men don't grow on trees. I think there's a lot of teams out there willing to give him a chance.

Not really. You have a #1D that is signed to a reasonable $7.25mil for several more years and you get a 24yo top 4 dman signed to a reasonable $4mil for several more years.

Karlsson alone will cost you more than what they make combine. With Ottawa, it may not always be about pure player value. An aspect that HF is weak on is properly valuing contracts as well. That's something GMs look at and consider.

The offer is garbage.

Melynk has gift certificates for McDonald's.

What, is he supposed to not use them?

McDonalds is going to catch on when they realize that ottawa did not score that many goals in the last minute of play. Won't be the first time Melnyk got in trouble for fraud.

Ah, the voucher deals then, eh? They stopped doing those in Buffalo. We never qualified for them either, sadly....

I thought you were kidding. I can't believe you could think that's a fair trade

His results suggest that he is very far from a second pairing guy. They are bad.

Definitely didn't help him when they glued him to Phaneuf when he was a very promising 22 year old RHD. His game improved drastically the last 2 months playing with Borowiecki and Chabot. He's a good #4 right now. #5 on a cup contender. And a #3 on Ottawa

In terms of shot metrics, Ceci has brought Phaneuf down. That's impressive.

I wonder what Ceci does well. Skating? It isn't size, I don't think. Defense does not seem to be the one... nor is it scoring. What is it?

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Ideally he gets traded and the money is allocated towards Karlsson/Duchene/Stone’s contracts.

Most likely he’ll get like 5 mil per because this organization has unconditional love for him.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

What would it take to get him in Edmonton? Something around our 2nd maybe?

People realize its still June right?

I do, I'm just here for the Melynk jokes lol
