** NHLRumors.com transcription

Futa: “For them to get to the place they wish to be, they’re going to must kind out the again finish. And that’s going to contain additions, or addition, for positive. We had been speaking yesterday, I 100% see the return of Ceci.

Marchese: “I used to be going to say, you, you talked about I, I do know, like I laughed about it, however I simply assume it’s hilarious that they make him, they’d make him and it does make sense, as a result of he’s been there, he’s been within the system. And other people can say, I’m not, I’m not the largest Cody Ceci fan, however I see what he meant to their penalty kill.

And we take a look at that, that staff defensively throughout that stretch of the playoffs, like after the Vancouver collection, they had been actually good. Like they had been actually good towards Dallas. Even towards the Panthers, they’re down three cob after which they arrive again. That’s as a result of they had been in a position to play properly defensively. Sure, they’ve horses up entrance. I perceive that, however they had been in a position to play properly defensively, and their penalty kill was wonderful. That’s been a battle this yr.

Futa: “I believe he’s one other one which, together with one other defenseman on the Oilers that you simply’re ranking him once more to this contract, which was out, it was excessive. For what Ceci brings to to the desk, it was excessive. A bit excessive in what he’s getting in San Jose, however in case you can have San Jose retain after which perhaps overpay on the belongings you’re giving up, you’re getting a man that there’s no, there’s no grey space.

We discuss your buying and selling for anyone, that every thing that Nashville did appears to be like so wonderful, and then you definitely’re like, ‘Man, this isn’t working, or it’s not discovering the chemistry.’

You understand precisely this man’s gonna slide into like a glove. He’s most likely nonetheless obtained a spot on the town. Is aware of all his teammates. He’s gone on the long term in order that’s not one thing that he needs to be regenerate, re-invigorated about, as a result of he simply did it final yr.

And once more, for me, with what their gap is, and once more, lack of cap area when can be finest, nonetheless obtained to determine what’s going to occur when Evander Kane will get again, what they’re going to do money-wise there.

We will ask, we had Jeff Jackson on, Jeff Jackson on tomorrow. It’ll be, he’s a match. He’s a very good match.

Marchese: “Yeah, heis. And once more, he is aware of the system. He’s been there. There’s and by all accounts, and his teammates actually preferred him. Oh, so I don’t, it’s the fellows, It’s sort of no brainer.

Futa: “The fellows been nice. Because the Ottawa 67’s, he’s been a pacesetter all over the place he’s been. I imply, whether or not you, I imply, he was most likely overpaid a bit when he was in Toronto. Identical factor. Individuals get it knocked due to their contract, however not due to their effectivity. I imply, if this man’s, if this man’s your 5 or your 4, with penalty killing upside. Large man right-handed shot, then he suits in simply nice.
