700-Game Veteran Defenseman Likely to Be Traded in the Coming Weeks

A new report has announced the Arizona Coyotes' interest in acquiring Cody Ceci, a veteran NHL defenseman currently playing in Edmonton.

With a relatively young roster, the Coyotes are actively pursuing the addition of a veteran presence to fortify their blue line, and Cody Ceci has emerged as a top contender for this role.

Ceci's NHL experience and his reasonable $3.25 million AAV salary makes him an ideal fit for a team like the Coyotes.

The Edmonton Oilers could see this trade as an opportunity to create salary cap space. This would give them the opportunity to secure top players ahead of the trade deadline.

Cody Ceci's performance in the 24 games he has played this season with the Oilers includes six assists, but it is his great defensive skills that truly stand out.

Do you think Ceci will be traded?
