The recent trade between the Edmonton Oilers and San Jose Sharks involving Darnell Nurse isn’t the first time the two franchises have connected on a deal to swap blue liners.
With training camp just around the corner, we are previewing each player on the LA Kings roster. Up next: Cody Ceci! Birthdate: December 21, 1993 Birthplace: Ottawa, Ontario Height: 6’3 Weight: 210 lbs Position: Defense Shoots: Right Draft: 1st round, 15th overall, 2012 NHL Draft Cody Ceci’s first year as a King went as expected: not very good.
Cody Ceci is one of those players who just keeps confusing people. You’ll watch him with the Toronto Maple Leafs or the Edmonton Oilers, and the eye test doesn’t exactly show you how good he is.
How many of the players to grace the cover of each EA NHL video game going back to 'NHL 2000?"
NHL free agency often results in some big misses, and this past summer was no exception. Even though we’re only two months into the regular season, it’s already clear that some of the contracts teams signed could turn out to be disasters, and for some, it was obvious from the start.
The NHL has had an interesting new millennium. It was a league sans a salary cap when the 2000s started… and then the owners locked the players out for an entire season.
When the Los Angeles Kings signed defender Cody Ceci to a four-year contract this offseason, fans around the league were quick to question what the Kings’ front office was thinking.
A well-balanced squad of 13 forwards, eight defensemen and two goaltenders, the Kings look to climb further than last year’s first round defeat at the hands of the Edmonton Oilers.
Is it more valuable to have one dominant goaltender or two very good ones? It depends on the time of year. Come the postseason, there’s a correlation between trusting one bellcow starter and winning the Stanley Cup.
Eric Stephens of The Athletic: (mailbag) Anaheim Ducks defensemen Jacob Trouba and Radko Gudas are entering the final years of their contract. If the Ducks are in playoff contention, it’s unlikely that they would move either, unless either player wants to be moved.
There is still time for these teams to change their offseason, and one big trade can still impact things, but through the first week, these teams have dropped the ball. So far.
NHL free agency opened on Tuesday, and, so far, 181 contracts have been signed worth almost $800,000,000 total. Which contracts will age well, and which had fans shaking their heads at the numbers?
People will talk about the “Mount Rushmore” for a franchise, which is to say the four people, usually four players, that most define the franchise. Not always the four-best players, but the four that evoke the essence of the franchise.
The Los Angeles Kings have announced that they have signed defenseman Cody Ceci to a four-year, $18 million contract, which carries an average annual value (AAV) of $4.5 million.
The NHL's free-agent signing period opened on Tuesday, and while there were some very good contracts handed out, there were also some very questionable deals.
The Los Angeles Kings have confirmed they have signed defenseman Cody Ceci to a four-year contract with an average annual value (AAV) of $4,500,000 through the 2028-29 season.
The Dallas Stars are on the brink of elimination as they trail the Edmonton Oilers, who have a 3-1 series lead after four games, and are hoping for a miracle as they try to get to the Stanley Cup Final.
This time last year, Cody Ceci faced off against the Dallas Stars in the Western Conference Final with the Edmonton Oilers. This time, he finds himself on the other end of the ice as a member of the Stars, looking to defeat his former Oilers teammates for a spot in the Stanley Cup Final.
The Sharks nearly dealt pending unrestricted free agent defenseman Cody Ceci to the Canucks before sending him to the Stars along with Mikael Granlund over the weekend, David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period said Tuesday.
While the Sharks are losing arguably their two most prominent pending UFAs, the first-round selection adds a legitimate future asset.
Former Oilers defenceman Cody Ceci is playing his first season with the rebuilding San Jose Sharks, and he's producing the worst results in the NHL by some advanced stats.
This post is a correction post from a post I originally published a few days ago. In that post, I suggested that the Edmonton Oilers look at the idea of bringing back Cody Ceci at 50% retained because a report by Chris Johnston of TSN and The Athletic suggested the San Jose Sharks might be open to moving him.
ANAHEIM — How to stop the San Jose Sharks’ parade to the penalty box? Cody Ceci offered a new idea, after the Sharks dropped a 3-1 decision to the Anaheim Ducks.
The Edmonton Oilers are trying to save on the margins.
The Edmonton Oilers are going to need to clear some salary cap space ahead of next season, and there will be limited ways for them to do so. Salary resource site PuckPedia has the club $354k over the upper limit, and the team still has to sign restricted free agents Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg to extensions.
Few players have taken more heat in Edmonton over the last year or two than Cody Ceci. Some of it has been justified and may have been harsh, but the truth is he’s often found himself playing above where he should in the Oilers lineup.
The Florida Panthers were able to take Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final on Saturday night, earning a 3-0 win over the Edmonton Oilers to take an early 1-0 series lead.
The idea of adding a top-pairing, right-shot defenceman ahead of the trade deadline is a divisive topic among Nation Citizens right now.
With the NHL trade deadline only weeks away, the Oilers are actively exploring options to free up cap space and strengthen their roster for a deep playoff run.
