So cleared Ceci for nothing net net. Still a disaster for Oilers, but that's only reason i see the Ceci trade making sense.
San Jose look like the 2nd worst idiots here.

Apparently Ceci was really liked in the room and players (McDavid, Draisaitl) had gone up to Holland to ask he not be traded at the deadline last year.
This whole series of transactions not only makes the Oilers worse on D (at least on paper) and older, but also takes a liked player away for no apparent reason.
And I see Oiler fans talking like this team is going to make it to finals again. I don’t really see it
