[edguy]

Love this deal! Great deal for both parties

 

[NyQuil]

Not bad when you see Cowen making $3.1M per year over 4 years in a deal that was signed in 2013.

Refreshing.

Well done Dorion.

 

[Tryamkin]

Seems like a reasonable deal.

 

[armani]

Solid deal, leaves Pierre Dorion to work within the budget, having the capability to add a rental mid-season or a depth defenceman now.

 

[GWNR]

Reasonable bridge deal.

 

[Treb]

lol @ Sens twitter guy.

 

[Six Assets]

Standard bridge deal

 

[bert]

Terrible deal obviously its the Sens! Overpaid Ceci sucks. Jump on HF get after it.

 

[Zaddy]

Nice deal.

 

[FLYLine27*]

Normal bridge deal.

 

[Vipers31]

Seems like a reasonable deal.

Solid deal

Reasonable bridge deal.

Standard bridge deal

Normal bridge deal.

Agreed.

 

[Nordic*]

He's in a perfect spot, being paired with Phaneuf - having Karlsson eating up the toughest 25-30 minutes.

The only drawback is that his PP time will be bery limited.

 

[Maukkis]

Solid.

Is Ottawa set now?

 

[DALLAS90]

35-40 points hopefully for Ceci this year.. then when year 2 kicks in he can hopefully get up to 50

 

[SEALBound]

Damn that is a good deal!

 

[NyQuil]

35-40 points hopefully for Ceci this year.. then when year 2 kicks in he can hopefully get up to 50

Karlsson eats up a lot of the PP icetime.

 

[DALLAS90]

agreed but I think Ceci will see more time now that hes older

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

Solid deal for the Sens Ceci is going to be a difference maker as soon as next season.

 

[Legend123]

its a bridge deal, so its always a good deal. But a bit too much $$$. It will give him a lot of pressure to perform, so thats good. He should get more PP time. Will improve his confidence and make him avoid looking at his stats...

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Solid bridge.

If he does well this season lock him up long term like 4.5-5.5 mill 7 or 8 years

 

[Qward]

Solid.

Is Ottawa set now?

They still want an upgrade on their 5/6 expect to see some training camp invites.

 

[Edgelord]

Terrible deal obviously its the Sens! Overpaid Ceci sucks. Jump on HF get after it.

Great deal but risky. I like Ceci and think they would have been better served to go 5milX6yrs. Now I think Ceci will play great and get 7+ on his next deal.

 

[danielpalfredsson]

Guessing it is backloaded in order to give Ceci a more favourable qualifying offer and the Senators a bit of wiggle room on their supposed 68M budget.

They are at roughly 65.3M before this signing. Obviously that could go up or down by a few 100k depending on which depth players get the last few spots on the team. Point is, Ceci's contract should just fit under the budget. For this reason, a bridge deal seemed inevitable.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Nice deal for the Sens.
