To be fair I was thinking about this a while ago. Simply due to Ceci being a very Jim Benning type of player.

if ceci goes to vancouver, what would the return be? could any players on vancouver interest ottawa?

 

[Breakers]

Any GM that thinks THIS has value deserves to be shot directly into the sun.

 

[domiwroze]

good points but both teams are rebuilding. maybe there could be a 1-1 swap similar to the spooner-gagner deal?

No, OTT would leave a lot of trade value on the table just to please Vancouver with that kind of move. They must trade for value right now, loosing all their star players in less than 9months. If Ceci leaves it's for prospect and/or picks.

I’d want Baertschi/Leivo.

i think vancouver wont trade this years picks, but they could trade 2020 picks and some prospects. i heard dahlen could be on the move.. would ottawa be interested in reacquiring him?

 

[c3po]

I’d want Baertschi/Leivo.

i doubt van trades leivo... hes been good since coming to vancouver and they recently acquired him. they could trade baertschi but hes injured and has had an injury problem concussion related

 

[Seatoo]

I’d love Ceci in Vancouver, but I wouldn’t pay much beyond Pouliot + a prospect like Palmu

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Yeah not happening. Unless they want Eriksson or Gudbranson back

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Ceci is awful

 

[c3po]

Ceci is awful

maybe he needs a change of scenery

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

Yeah I wouldn’t do more than any combination of Pouliot, Granlund, Gudbranson, or a C prospect.

 

[Mathew Barzal]

I’d want Baertschi/Leivo.

It's likely Baertschi's career is over. His history with concussions has been awful and the symptoms of his latest should have him thinking about retirement.

 

[Bounces R Way]

How very Jim Benning of them.

 

[BROCK HUGHES]

2020 picks could be in play maybe.im not sure what Ottawa would want in return.

 

[OUTHOUSE]

Literally anything

 

[PetterssonSimp]

I’d want Baertschi/Leivo.

This is a huge stretch in value for Ceci, the Canucks don’t need more defenceman who suck. Plus isn’t he an RFA with arbitration eligibility and a 4+ million dollar qualifying offer? Canucks made this mistake with Gudbranson already.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Blegh. Pass.

 

[Maukkis]

A pairing of Ceci and Gudbranson would be a sight to behold.

Both of Ottawa's 2019 seconds and Ceci for an inconsequential piece should be about fair. What Benning would do is unlikely to be that, though.

 

[elitepete]

Shaller+Pouliot for ceci

 

[Phenomenon13]

He will fit right in with the garbage cast of defender assembled by this management group

Except he's an expiring RFA (forced to play a top 2 role instead of a #4 which is what he should be) so he can't really have negative value. Sure his cap hit is 4.3M but that hardly matters at the deadline. Wouldn't really affect his value. You could literally trade a 2nd for him, use him for the rest of the year, and the probably flip him for a 2nd (at least a 3rd) at the draft. Basically a near-free rental.

Yeah, good one.

You shouldn't f***ing die on the ice just because you're playing a role you aren't suited for. Ceci has never shown anything indicating any kind of on-ice value.

Besides, he is a RFA with an obnoxious qualifying offer. If he doesn't become a UFA after this year, some team will have f***ed up in a massive way.
