Very quietly Ceci is actually playing very good for us.

[Commander Clueless]

Putting him on the 3rd pair has certainly....helped?

Not sure that's a compliment though...

 

[Commander Clueless]

or let muzzin and barrie walk and re-sign the CECI!!

I see you've had that nightmare as well

 

[Wafflewhipper]

I just hope he gets better as he goes and plays well.

Captain Morgan must be on a bender this year because he is definitely not on a rip ha,so not blaming Ceci for his problems is likely fairer

 

[Its not your fault]

He was fine and actually worth his contract in the "survive" role Babcock was using him. But he doesn't seem to have the ability to push the play against top comp in Keefe's system, and 4.5 is too much for the 3rd pair

I doubt we see a return of the Ceci so he may be dealt you never know.

 

[Stephen]

He’s not quietly doing well. He was loudly failing and seems to have been demoted to a suitable place in the lineup.

 

[Morbo]

It must be incredibly quietly because the guy sucks.

who do you think is failing more: Tyson Barrie or Cody Ceci...? And Why??

Both and add Kerfoot and Soup

Are you spewing ash again ?

 

[tmlms13]

He's still Ceci. He's been on 3rd pairing for a few games and that is where he needs to stay.

The guy was miscast in Ottawa, forced to play top 2 minutes with Morgan and I would imagine his confidence is probably about as low as it can get.

Leave him on 3rd pairing, hope someone see something in him and will take him and his cap hit far away from this team.

And who would you replace him with that is a better option?

 

[Bluelines]

On the 3rd pairing? No one, he works well there.

 

[TakeTheBody]

The less he plays. The more i like him.

 

[MyBudJT]

Ceci was one of our better d-men last night...

 

[ottawah]

I speculated a change of putting Barrie with Reilly and having Muzzin or Dermott do the shutdown minutes with Ceci would be a good move. They are doing it, and the last two games it has seemed to work well. Moving Reilly away from the hard assignments has helped his gameand giving Ceci a decent defensively oriented partner on the other side has helped. Despite the 20% O zone start for Ceci/Dermott they have been on for no goals against and 2 for. Reilly and Barrie have been on for 2 against (pretty close to their average) and 3 for, so that seems to be working.

 

[Garthinater]

Not a fan of ceci when he played for ottawa, still not a fan now.

Seems like almost all of dubas' trades have been poor value for us.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Both chew rolaids bad

 

[PromoterDave]

Ceci has been fine. Tyson Barrie, Kapanen, Spezza, Kerfoot need to go. Spending too much of our cap on them for their poor play. We need a backup goalie and better defensive players

 

[Wafflewhipper]

I would not blink a eye if they traded Ceci and sad to say but there are many more. Morgan Reilly needs to realize he is our best defenseman soon to and stop being so passive, we need him

 

[horner]

who do you think is failing more: Tyson Barrie or Cody Ceci...? And Why??

Barrie because we expected so much more

 

[ruaware41]

Call up Sandin

 

[Jozay]

Team would probably be better with him gone and Liljegren up.

 

[ponder]

He’s a borderline NHLer with a $4.5 mil cap hit. Holl is a borderline NHLer himself, and is better than Ceci.

Ceci has a decent point shot, and is big, but that’s about all I like about him. Only moderately physical, poor puck mover, poor skater. Not good defensively - poor positioning, poor gap control, failed to see high danger opportunities developing.

He’s a serviceable 6/7 D, but that’s it. We’ll replace him with Liljegren next year for a fraction of the cost.

 

[cesareborgia]

This is probably not going to be a popular opinion (though I can't see why) but...

The CECI for C? CECI the C! Take it off Johnny T and give CECI the C!!!

The eye test and experience and nuance knowledge of your sport of choice is unfortunately becoming a lost art and ability . It seems to be clouded over today by numbers , analytics and video gaming approaches

I just think brains aren't developing the way they use to. When you have people claiming that Marner was floating last night, you certainly cant blame all of it on CTE or something. Occam's razor says that it is likely that people are plain dumb.

A lot of times you are so correct friend ....
