Great signing by the Pens. Getting a serviceable bottom pairing D for that cap is a very good move. Isn’t this the guy Dubas said (in his year and presser) had really good team specific underlying numbers?
Do you need to be explained what you wrote ?oh thank the lord , now zero chance he doesnt come back to the leafs
Weird. Pittsburgh will likely turn his career around though.
So Jack Johnson makes more than Ceci? Oh how the mighty have fallen. If Pens put Ceci on bottom pair you can do worse.
Jack Johnson is absolutely worse so Pens did get better. And TML misused Ceci giving 2 pairing minutes instead of 3rd pairing minutes. Ceci as a 6 is fine. Now if pens play in top 4 it will be a train wreck again.+63/ 995 / 375/ 8955
I suppose they could put me on the bottom pair so technically true...but in a more realistic sense....No you cannot do much worse.
So two different teams over the past 4 years played him 20+ minutes a night but he is not an NHLer? Seems like hyperbole to me. You can say he really shouldn't play the amount of minutes he has but over his career he consistently has been given top 4 minutes. So putting him on our 3rd pairing behind Letang 25+ minutes a night and Marino 20+ minutes a night leaves Ceci with only 14 minutes a night and change. That is a big reduction in what he has done over his years in the league. I am willing to bet Ceci will handle those sheltered minutes much better than the 20-23 minutes a night he has been doing over his past 4 years.
Plus the fans and outlets that say Ruhwedel is just as good or better are ridiculous. Ruhwedel has never been an NHL regular and is 29 years old and has never came close to playing 20 minutes a night. Ceci has been averaging over 20+ minutes a night for years and is 26. Ceci might not be a stud but he definitely is an improvement over Schultz who was literally our worse defenseman last year. I still can't believe the Caps gave Schultz $4 million a year. All take Ceci at $1.25 million over Schultz any day even if Schultz could be on the Pens for $700,000. Pens have definitely upgraded the defense with Matheson and Ceci compared to JJ-Schultz.
It is true and others cost more. Decent signingeven if that were true and it can't be he's still not the best option when Hamonic and Vatanen exist
Didn't Ottawa take the leafs worst D not once but twice ???hardly one to talk...amd isn't one's them still lining up for the sens power ??? LOL.. didn't the sens trade after their best D for almsot nothing and then continue to still miss the playoffs? Anything D from the sens cant be taken seriouslyThis guy is the worst D I have laid eyes on for a few years in ottawa, thats saying alot after all our bottom finishes, hes like a jared cowen without the physicality, just thinks the game 2 seconds later then everyone else.
GL pits
