Confirmed Trade: [SJS/EDM] D Cody Ceci, '25 3rd round pick for D Ty Emberson

[CantHaveTkachev]

Prioritizing Broberg over Holloway seems stupid

why?

 

[McDrailers]

No more Nurse-Ceci?!

He helped a division rival out of a cap crunch…. because??

Once an Oiler Always an Oiler? (tm)

Emberton doesn’t move the needle for SJ and Ceci is gone in a year (or less). Basically a free 3rd rounder.

 

[Soundwave]

An 8th overall pick who just had a great playoffs. We are supposed to give that up for a 2nd rounder? Cap space is great but it's not a substitute for that

Sure though next time they might just want to sign the guy at 1.8 that he was at in July, lol. Live and learn I guess.

 

[innitfam]

lol @ people think the Oilers would need to attach a high pick to Ceci

good cap dump deal...got a player who played in the NHL last year plus room to to re-sign Broberg

They attached a 3rd lol?

Bastard should be finishing GOT

 

[ChicagoBlues]

So now they have a guy who doesn't want to be there. Well done, Edmonton Oilers!!!!

Unless you believe the Sharks share the same cup window as the Oilers this really doesn't matter for them

Grier can flip Ceci at the TDL for a 2nd or a 3rd.

According to a lot of people he's going to cost a ton to dump

 

[McHelpus]

Ceci ya later

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

They attached a 3rd lol?

that's a high pick?

Then why trade for Podkolzin if they match on Holloway? They have enough forwards, even with Kane on LTIR.

People need to realize SJ will likely get a 2nd rounder for Ceci at the trade deadline. Big, right shot, experienced defenceman is something many contenders want to add in February-March.

I think the Podkolzin trade was a low risk backup in case they had nothing else. I suspect the gift from Grier materialized.

Value makes sense. Lol at the Habs fans expecting a 1st to take on Ceci.

Do you have a fetish for Montreal?

 

[La Bamba]

Oilers deserved some kind of value for Ceci but the Blues' offer sheets took away all the negotiation leverage

Grier made good work here

 

[dgibb10]

Ceci sucks. So I doubt it.

Have you seen the rental RD market?

If Larsson stays put Ceci is arguably the best guy on the market

 

[Soundwave]

No more Nurse-Ceci in the playoffs. How sad.


? Lot of Oilers fans thought Ceci would return an asset outright. Turns out they had to attach a 3rd round pick to move him.

Emberson seems like a generic bottom pairing defenseman. Guessing Grier sold high, like he did on Okhotiuk

10 points in your first 30 games seems interesting as an NHL D, Emberton played for Knoblaugh in the past.

 

[ToDavid]

that's a high pick?

Nice edit.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Holloway for a third is still really good valve, although contrary to what some may think, the idea that he is going to walk into a bigger role in St. Louis by just showing up is completely false. But yeah, the bigger fish and bigger hole to plug was that LHD spot with Broberg.

Seems like Edmonton may be able to match both now though too…guess we will see.

Either way…the Blues gave us an interesting week and didn’t lose anything other than maybe pissing off Stan Bowman…which may be an overall win.

A lot of the Blues' worst defensive contracts expire relatively soon, like Leddy and Krug. Krug may, in fact, be LTIRetired. Faulk is still an OK player and Perunovich is finally starting to trend upwards after numerous injuries. They're likely kicking themselves about Walman and especially Mikkola, however. Having those two as late-blooming pieces instead of handing out albatross UFA contracts would've given St. Louis some extra pieces to transition the team.

Yeah stealth edit doesn't work when your post was already quoted earlier with the original content...

San Jose might be selling high on Emberson. Getting a 3rd out of his surprising season for a small 1 year cap dump is a pretty nice maneuver for San Jose.

He’s injury prone.

Pretend for a minute it’s Chicago who had Broberg and Holloway. There’s less than 0% chance the Blues would help them with this type of deal under any circumstance.

I could see it if the Blues said sure we’ll help take Ceci as long as you’re sending a first, which Chicago (Edmonton) couldn’t pay.

It’s not terrible. If there’s a chance we can trade ceci for another third next year I’ll take it.

 

[LemonSauceD]

There goes Ceci’s career. He’ll post like a -40 and will likely be a league min contract next off season lmao
