Deadline defensemen

Two bad trades for Edmonton, very poor use of assets and definitely not worth wasting a 1st on a couple of meh rentals.

Ceci plays Top 4 minutes and provides steady defence on a contender only paid 3.25M and you’re the one throwing in a 3rd pick? Make no sense.

He’s the worst defensively in the roster, gwg or backbreaker goals he’s on ice for every one.

Not actually. While he’s the least sexy of all the defenceman the Oilers have he is nowhere near the most mistake prone. He’s steady back there provides a bit of puck movement. Nothing special but he’s not a liability. He hasn’t been one for years.

no, this past 8 game winning streak ceci has constantly been one of the oilers bottom 3 defensemen, When ceci is on the ice opponents shots, goals and chances go up while the oilers offense (especially draisaitl's) go wayyyy down, ceci's poor defending and offense are being covered up by the 5 man unit of 93-97-18, 14-2 who have been dominating every line they play against and scoring at a crazy rate IF the oilers want to be true contenders they need upgrade on ceci who is playing out of his depth range and acquire a true top4 D who can compliment nurses game as ceci takes away from his game

91-29-28, 25-5 has been the worst 5 man unit since being put together even being outplayed by the 4th line (brown and ceci put up some of the worst metrics in the WHOLE LEAGUE when on ice together)
