McKenzie: Ceci trade "within the realm of possibility"

[justafan22]

McKenzie delves into Ceci trade possibility

“I think in the case of Ceci because he’s on the one-year deal… RFA at the end of this year - I think that the notion of trading Cody Ceci is within the realm of possibility,” allowed McKenzie. “And that it wouldn’t surprise me if the Senators have gotten calls on Ceci, and it wouldn’t surprise me if the Ottawa Senators are earnestly listening on those.
“Again, nobody has made any pronouncements, and so nothing is firm by any stretch of the imagination, but it wouldn’t surprise me if Senators were open to the idea of trading Ceci. That doesn’t mean they’re going to give him away. It’s not a fire sale. Contractually, they still own him. They could qualify him, or do another deal, or whatever the case may be - but he’s not unrestricted, he’s not walking out the door. You have some control over the player, but not a ton either. He’s getting on.
“So on that one I think there’ll likely be conversations.”

Ceci to Dallas so Roman Polak can pleaseee stop playing top 4 minutes

 

[robsenz]

Frigging better be. Is Hall still available?

Ceci to Dallas so Roman Polak can pleaseee stop playing top 4 minutes

I mean, Ceci playing top 4 is hardly better

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

Of course he is available. Anyone making over $2 mil a year is on the table in Melnyk's mind

Ceci for Honka + pick (3rd or later) is something I could see happening.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

He never was.

 

[Taluss]

Ceci for Honka + pick (3rd or later) is something I could see happening.

Done

 

[YP44]

How about former 67 Toffoli and Ceci as a basis

 

[KnuckChuckinTkachuk]

I think Dorion is going to package Ceci and Dzingel to Edmonton for their 1st and Puljujarvi (+ maybe Sekera as a cap dumb added)

 

[BondraTime]

He never was.

Before the Larson trade, Ceci for Hall was something that was nearly done. That's what he's talking about

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

I assumed he was always available but just not really wanted too much by many teams

 

[LT]

Ceci for Honka + pick (3rd or later) is something I could see happening.

Stars should take this. I know Ceci isn't amazing, but he's definitely better for the #4 spot than our other options currently.

is chia that bad?

 

[KnuckChuckinTkachuk]

is chia that bad?

I think he is yeah.. but to be fair, a top 6 winger and a D that can play in your top 4 wouldn't come cheap. Plus the potential cap relief of getting rid of Sekera, it's probably worth it.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

I assumed he was always available but just not really wanted too much by many teams

Ceci has been discussed as the centerpiece in feals for Hall, Eberle and Drouin

So the opposite was true

He has never been available but has always been wanted

I suspect now it is closer to what you think - he is more available than ever but less teams than ever are interested

He has been better than last year at least

Stars should take this. I know Ceci isn't amazing, but he's definitely better for the #4 spot than our other options currently.

I dont think Honka is the type of D we would target... Wolanin & Chabot are both regulars and I am not sure what Honka can bring that they do not already provide

Not saying its bad value just not sure Honka is a great fit for us

 

[HoweHullOrr]

Ceci for Honka + pick (3rd or later) is something I could see happening.

Done

I understand the concerns of Senator fans given the owner, but I think you'll do better than that for Ceci. In the games I've watched (recently), I didn't see a horrible defender as some seem to be suggesting.

Ceci + Dzingel for 2019 1st + Puljujarvi + Sekera?

I would cry if that happened.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Ceci + Dzingel for 2019 1st + Puljujarvi + Sekera?

I would cry if that happened.

Sign me up for that

 

[Kevin Musto]

lol who tf would want Ceci on their roster? He's up there with Manning as one of the worst D in the league

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Ceci + Dzingel for 2019 1st + Puljujarvi + Sekera?

I would cry if that happened.

Agreed it is way too much to expect

Protected 1st or Puljuarvi could come into play but I think the additional piece would be less, even with Sekera coming back.... Sekera is fine when healthy and when he's hurt he can just be left on LTIR

 

[sens13]

Anyone can have him for free. He sucks.

It's pretty realistic for Chia. I could definitely see him packaging the 2019 for Ceci and Dzingel, kill two birds with one stone - a top-6 F and a top-4 D.

 

[Mister Ed]

Cody Ceci for Danny Dekeyser and Darren Helm.

For Detroit, Ceci is a RHD and is an RFA. Would be a welcomed piece on the blueline when Kronwall retires. Other than Karlsson, Edler, Myers and Gardiner, there isn't a lot of top-4 D in UFA next summer. The Red Wings blueline would look like this next year :

Cholowski - Green
Ericsson - Ceci
Jensen - Hronek

For Ottawa, Dekeyser is a LHD with some term (signed until 2021-22) and would solidy the left D on OTT. Helm is a great bottom-6 forward, but DET has a lot of those (Glendening, Frk, Ehn, De la Rose, Svechnikov (injured), Turgeon, Witkowski, Abdelkader).

This is very unappealing

Helm is a cap dump and exactly the type of player we are trying to shed

I have liked him for years but that is the last type of piece we are looking to add

As for Dekeyser, we have no need for LHD. We have 3 very good LHD who are all 23 or under and are all making less than 1mil. Never mind the fact that he costs a lot of money

Basically there is zero chance that the Sens will add 4mil in long term salary while getting older and not getting any picks or prospects. I dont even think we'd take the package of Dekeyser + Helm for free at this point
