The San Jose Sharks traded for defenseman Cody Ceci and a 2025 third-round pick from the Oilers, receiving Ty Emberson in return. This deal helps Edmonton manage their salary cap issues.
The Oilers were in a tough spot, facing the loss of two young stars to offer sheets while being significantly over the salary cap. By dealing Ceci, they saved $2.3 million.
Ceci's trade allows the Oilers potential flexibility to retain young talents Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg, who are facing offer sheets from the St. Louis Blues worth significant cap hits.
Ceci, with a $3.25 million cap hit this season, is set to become a UFA in 2025, while Emberson is under a one-year contract due to become a Group 6 UFA.
