I don't see Ceci as a dump, he has a similar tofu le to Tanev play but not as reliable. A definite downgrade.
But 2 * 1rst, Broberg and Ceci and Campbell for Tanev and Marky. I think it's close, but maybe Oilers add another B prospect...Calgary needs to fill the cupboard with guys that are on the cusp of NHL or are quality prospects. MAYBE RAPHAEL LAVOIE
The Flames also have to consider PR, Treliving is still getting raked over the coals by Flames fans for giving up a 1st to get rid of Monahan, bailing the Oilers out of a terrible long-term contract is not going to sit well in Calgary unless the deal is undeniably good for Calgary, because Campbell is owed more than double what Monahan was when he was traded.
The only way a deal like this doesn't have fans lined up with pitchforks is to get a 1st+ for Markstrom, to get a 1st or a 2nd + a real good prospect for Tanev and at least the value of 2 first round picks to take Campbell. Basically it would have to hurt the Oilers enough that their fans would be the ones with pitchforks.
A smarter deal would be a 3-way. with say the Sabres. Flames retain 50% on Tanev, the Sabres retain another 25%, Oilers send Ceci, a 1st in 2024 and a 4th in 2026 to Calgary and a 3rd in 2025 to Buffalofor the extra retention. Then Markstrom goes to Edmonton for Skinner and Holloway. I think that would be relatively fair.
