SJHN Daily: How Much Term Is UFA Ceci Looking For? Matthews Takes Jumbo on Mentors Trip
Pending UFA Cody Ceci would “love to stay” with the San Jose Sharks.
As Curtis Pashelka of The Mercury News reports, the 31-year-old veteran defenseman would welcome an extension. However, Ceci shared that he has not begun discussions with GM Mike Grier.
Ceci said that he’d like term similar to the four-year contract that he’s currently finishing.
Last week, head coach Ryan Warsofsky said that he would love for Cody Ceci to return.
Ceci has been the Sharks’ No. 2 defenseman, in terms of usage, and second among San Jose defensemen with 11 points, both behind Jake Walman. He leads the team in blocked shots and PK ice-time.
He has also provided invaluable leadership for a young Sharks squad, and has helped raise their competitive level to at least an NHL standard this year.
