Ceci to Edmonton

OTT needs to add something.

Cody Ceci doesn't come close to Oscar Klefbom

But I wouldn't deal Hoffman for RNH so the deal is very close to be fair IMO. Maybe Ottawa adds Harpur or Englund and that's it

Hoffman-McDavid-Puljujärvi
Lucic-Draisatl-Aberg
Khaira, Strome, Kassian, Caggiula, etc

Nurse-Larsson
Sekera-Ceci
Russell-Bear

Then the Oilers should try to acquire a good RWing.

You'd need to add a prospect ceci is about as good as benning plus RNH is McDavid new winger with one year longer on his term an three years younger I wouldn't entertain this trade plus klef is locked up to an amazing contract just ask @phillyjabroni how much hed pay for klef

Maybe Benning could get more responsability but until it happens, you never know. Ceci was the 2nd most utilized player on a team that got 98 pts and went to the ECF (2nd OT game 7 against Pittsburgh). Sens fan who don't like Ceci were saying that Wideman or Claesson would be better but when they had to play for an increased role, they failed miserably. Obviously, I could talk about this for hours but the "quality of minutes" is directly linked to his advanced stats. Quality of teammates (Ceci played mostly with declining Phaneuf), quality of competition (Ceci mostly play against best NHL players), zone starts (Ceci starts mostly in the defensive zone), quality of the team possession (Ottawa has been poor in possession under Boucher) and if the role of the player is appropriate (Ceci isn't supposed to be a shutdown D-man), aka is the player in the right chair? I would like to see if many players would come out with positive underlying numbers those circumstances.

Maybe EDM likes klefbom a lot and that's fine, phillyjabroni's opinion doesn't matter. You can find some Sens fans who think EK is worth Draisatl, Kelfbom, Yamamoto and two 1sts.It's just fans opinions, it doesn't mean much.

Harpur and Englund are prospects by the way.
