Where does Ceci fit into the Top prospects list for Ottawa?

[MoreGore]

The fall list will likely come soon, sooooo.....

The spring list, which came late, should not change that much with the exception for the additon of Ceci and Maidens.

The last list was ..

Zibanejad
Lehner
Silfverberg
Noesen
Stone
Boroweicki
DaCosta
Wiercioch
Peumpel
Petersson
O'Brien
Prince
Filatov
Grant
Gryba
Pageau
Hoffman
Claesson
Blood
Dziuzynski

Based on where he was drafted and the progress of Noesen, in combination with his draft position, I would put him after Noesen.

Maidens I would likely put in Filatovs spot.

I would also move Prince up a few spots.

[BK201]

I'd say top of our defensive prospects.

Probably roughly where this board voted him, give or take 2 or 3 spots.

But why look at that when you can create a new thread eh

[metalfoot]

if Maidens' concussion symptoms don't improve soon, he will drop hard in the rankings.

[Germz]

Yeah, studs like Claesson, Filatov and Gryba are really chomping at the bit.

if they do he'll rise a ton though.

so for now, he's fine where he is.

[SpezDispenser]

5th behind Silfverberg, Stone, Zibanejad and Lehner - and barely above Noesen IMO.

...

Only change I would make is to have Zibanejad and Silfverberg switched around, but you could make a case for either.

[tony d]

I'd have him at #4 behind Zibanejad, Lehner and Zilfberverg.

[operasen]

If he starts off with the 67s because Training Camp is post-poned duee to lockout - does he still get a shot at making the team? Or is he with the 67s all year no matter when the lockout ends?

Same question with Puempel I guess.

Stone and Noesen can at least get to Binghamton. Pageau?

Noesen's situation is the same as Puempel and Ceci....it's not determined but it has been said that it is NOT a foregone conclusion that junior eligible players would have to remain in the CHL for the entire season...NHL teams may have access to them whenever the season kicks off.

According to what I read in the Citizen, expect to see some prospects pushed down to the ECHL. I also gathered that the team in the ECHL was not yet known. Which I found to be wierd. I thought they already had arrangements with a team down there.

I would expect to see a few guys moved down, perhaps guys like Prince and Pageau, so they can still play good minutes, that than guys like Cannone or Dz who are AHLers.

[magix]

Havent seen much of this kid, wondering if someone can fill me in on what type of game he has and what he projects to be.

[Fenix Rises 2026]

Lehner had a forgettable year last season. He's going to drop.

Elmira is our ECHL affilliate, no?

Nothing really should happen to a goalie that has won the MVP of the Calder Cup at 19. Can't forget about that rare accomplishment in one year...his team was awful and he's a kid learning how to show up every night/year.

Cody Ceci is a two-way defender who is very good at controlling the play.

Before last year, he was primarily a defensive defenceman who made good breakout passes from his own end. Defensively, he is not always a big hitter despite his linebacker frame. Instead, he often resorts to sound positional play and quality stickwork to effectively defend. He has a very good breakout pass, which often helps spark offensive attacks.

Offensively, last year was a coming out party for Ceci. He has a solid (not Weber-Chara like) shot which is generally accurate. He sees the ice very well, which is a reason his breakout passes usually lead to quality chances. An often unmentioned aspect of Ceci's game around HFBoards (where these little things go unnoticed) is his ability to pull the puck across the blueline. This seemingly basic move can create lots of time and space, and the other NHL defenders who do this frequently are Erik Karlsson and Drew Doughty. Honestly, it may not seem like much but it's a very valuable skill to have.

My biggest concern with Ceci is his lack of consistency. Well, it's not really lack of consistency. It's hard to explain. I know many of the 67s regulars have shared my opinion when I say that it seems like out of 10 games, Ceci will play 8 or 9 very well. However, in 1 or 2 of those games, he will COMPLETELY **** the bed and have an atrocious atrocious night. He has also been guilty of having some bad stretches of games in a row (see 2011 Playoffs).

Overall, I think I speak for most Sens fans when I say that Ceci is a solid two-way defenceman with good positioning, good hockey sense, good passing, and a potential to be the man beside Erik Karlsson on the powerplay. Hopefully we've drafted ourselves a solid #3 defenceman.
