Ceci may be the better player but Emberson may be the better suited player to what the Oilers want/need, how a player skillset fits the role can make a big difference so while Ceci may be the better player overall, Emberson could perform better in the role the Oilers need and I think that has a lot to do with the Ceci trade beyond just the cap savings. With Ceci he was an offensive defender who needed to round out his game to stick but by no means was his defensive game ever his strong suit. With Emberson the defensive game encompasses many of his natural strengths.
I won’t be shocked at all if Emberson comes in and fits like a glove for what they want in that 4 spot.
It won't shock me either truthfully. I don't think its a high probability or anything, but its not like its a 3% chance either. If I had to bet on it, I'd give it something like 25% chance of happening.
