Is this a possibility for the base of a deal? I think Ottawa would need to add, although Ceci's contract will be much more affordable for the next couple seasons (2.8M AAV).

I have heard the Jets essentially want a similar player in age and skill set but on the Left side. I am not sure how many d-man fit that category. So Ceci, is a right shot, but young with potential and he could be an option for the Jets.

Jets don't need a right shooting D. Not much to talk about here.

Little interest in Ceci. Think you have to start with Chabot +

I understand that, I guess I was trying to bring up the question CAN the Jets get an equivalent (or somewhat equivalent) left shooting d-man. I dont really know who is available that fits that category, and it seems a deal between the Jets and Ducks cannot get done (my speculation).

So I thought id bring up Ceci for the sake of discussion.

Ottawa doesn't need a Trouba to play behind Karlsson. Ceci is a great fit.

I thought the reason the whole Trouba thing was happening was because he wanted a bigger role anyhow. Playing behind arguably the best defenceman in the NHL probably isn't ideal.

Assuming Ceci was dealt, he'd still get top 4 minutes and more importantly he'd play his preferred side.

So a team with an internal cap and a cheap owner is gonna spend not only assets but huge cap space and salary on a player to basically swap the one devil they know for the one they don't.
Seems Ceci fits the system, cap structure and role a lot better than Trouba.

Let alone even trying to even the value difference between the two for the Jets. This is just a poorly thought out proposal. No needs of either team were given any thought too.

From my relatively un-informed and purely a fan point of view, I can imagine Ottawa being interesting in Ceci/Trouba deal, maybe. But I definitely can't imagine Winnipeg moving Trouba in a deal, where Ceci is the main countervalue. Now, I can imagine Winnipeg being relatively interested in a deal made around Chabot, maybe. But I'm not really sure Ottawa would do that. Well, they probably would've already had they wanted.

You could ask Bob McKenzie in his podcast, he could answer what he thinks about Chabot/Trouba idea for example, he would maybe answer that imo. But my opinion is that Chabot is too valuable for Ottawa. The Senators wouldn't give up their best defensive prospect for Trouba imo.

Yeah, I don't see a fit here. The Sens like Ceci, he's signed to a good deal, whereas Trouba is an RFA, and Ceci has played well. We traded for Phaneuf to help round out Ceci's game (so he didn't have to carry a revolving door of scrubs that were paired with him before the trade), and to bridge the gap to Chabot becoming a full-time top 4 in the NHL. We'd rather just keep Ceci.

Ceci is a RHD not a LHD like Kevin Cheveldayoff is seeking, Winnipeg has no use for Ceci this doesn't work for them. Doubt that Ottawa has what Cheveldayoff would be seeking for Trouba and with what he would be seeking money wise doubt Ottawa would do it.

Am I the only one that would rather have ceci? Long term I think he projects to be better than Trouba, whos decision making is questionable at best a lot of the time..

The add to Ceci would have to be significant. I'd rather not add payroll either to make sure we can sign EK to his max contract in 2 years.

This is just so false. Trouba is very, very good and GMs around the NHL are salivating at the prospect of acquiring him, based on reports from more than one reporter. Look at Trouba's underlying stats and you can see that he's become a real shutdown D already, and his past shows he has substantial offensive potential if given the usage that he wants.

In any case, Trouba won't want to play in Ottawa any more than in Winnipeg, in my opinion. This is more about him wanting to play in certain types of markets / cities, more than about salary or playing right side D.

He is a year younger so he better develop very quickly to even get close to Trouba. With a year difference he is no looking like he will get there.

So you knew this, and still came to the conclusion that Ceci fit the description???

I believe is it's because he wont pass Buff anytime soon. In that case, he also won't be passing Karlsson anytime soon

I don't think Ottawa would want to trade Ceci. He's still growing and from Ottawa.
