Right.... 38 skaters in the entire league play more than him per game, but it's probably because the coach wants to get fired

he's not as good as he was projected to be but he's better than what a lot of Sens fans will acknowledge, I really think that's true

edit: it's also how management and the coach have pumped his tires over the past 2 years, so I don't blame fans for being frustrated

Ceci plays so much because there's literally no one else who can on the team. That says more about Ottawa's D than Ceci.

HOWEVER

I do agree I don't think he's as bad as people say. If he was brought in as a 5th dman, I think he could look decent. I also think other teams know this, and that'ts why hes say to be garnering interest.

He sucks. I don't care what minutes Boucher chooses to give him. Playing him a lot of minutes doesn't prove he's good. It only proves he plays a lot of minutes. Probably why we suck so bad.

Edit: I'm not 'frustrated' with him. I say he sucks based on an objective opinion I've formed after watching pretty much every game he's ever played in the NHL. I didn't want to believe it at first. But around 2 or so years ago, I couldn't help but face the reality. He's just not very good. A 5th man, or a 4th man if he's playing with a good D partner.

read it again.

do they have it for 2015-2016 OR 2016-2017?

That's what I said, 4th Dman (top 4!)

I understand what your saying about him but a lot of it has to do with him being in Ottawa, it hasn't worked out here. He was awesome when he came in. It's funny because when he came into the NHL, he balanced out the entire D-core that year

Only if his partner is really good. And that pair is behind a really good pair.

ie.

Chabot Karlsson
(Ekholm) Ceci

... would be an acceptable top 4. But that's THREE guys clearly above him. That's his max role IMO. Not like in Ottawa where apparently he is the second coming of Karlsson. Lol I'm really splitting hairs here. Lol Never mind, dude. I just think Ceci sucks. Lol And you have your opinion.

Lol I hear you man.
I get it on Ceci, I just think he needs to get out of Ottawa & play 2nd pairing duties with a good d-man; would look good in tampa IMO

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa..... if you're gonna just demote Laine to the third line, I'll give you Duchene and Stone for Laine and a decent prospect/middle six roster player like Little. I'll even sweeten the pot from Ottawa's side if need be.

Dzingel Little Laine
Tkachuk Nobody Ryan
Nobody White Nobody
Nobody Nobody Nobody

Chabot Nobody
Nobody Demelo
Nobody Nobody

Nobody
Anderson

.... Not much worse than what we have now. At least we'd have one of my favorite players in Laine. Then when his contract is up, he walks for nothing and Melnyk laughs all the way to the bank.

I'm jaded.

I heard the Leafs are signing Yan Weber to an offer sheet.

Dushesne for Our first round pick next year and Petan. Anything more is an overpayment. IMHO. Otherwise we can win with what we have now.
