The Edmonton Oilers could put Cody Ceci on the trade block, according to NHL insider Frank Seravalli of DailyFaceoff.
The Oilers are currently over the salary cap, according to PuckPedia, and still need to sign RFAs Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway. With Edmonton needing to create cap space, Seravalli believes Ceci could be on the trade block, as he’s entering the final year of the four-year $13 million deal he signed in 2021.
“I can tell you with 100 percent certainty there is a market for Cody Ceci. Right (shot) defencemen in that pay range are always in demand. Just go look at the pay range this summer and look at some of the money thrown around,” Seravalli said on OilersNow.
“Cody Ceci at that number is probably quite palatable. And, in fact, probably to some teams that are cap-strapped. There’s a break glass in case of emergency if Jeff Jackson and the Oilers want it. In the meantime, let’s see what develops,” Seravalli added.
Trading Ceci would allow Edmonton to sign Broberg who played a key role in the playoffs for the Oilers. As Seravalli says, there would be a market for Ceci who has just one year left on his deal and can be a third-pairing defenseman on any NHL team.
