Cody Ceci was traded to the San Jose Sharks by the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday.
Edmonton, which also traded a third-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft to San Jose, received defenseman Ty Emberson.
Ceci had 25 points (five goals, 20 assists) in 79 games last season. The 30-year-old defenseman also had five points (two goals, three assists) in 24 Stanley Cup Playoff games, helping the Oilers advance to the Final, where they lost to the Florida Panthers in seven games.
Ceci has one season remaining on the four-year, $13 million contract ($3.25 million average annual value) he signed with Edmonton on July 28, 2021.
Selected by the Ottawa Senators with the No. 15 pick in the 2012 NHL Draft, Ceci has 211 points (48 goals, 163 assists) in 786 regular-season games with the Senators, Toronto Maple Leafs, Pittsburgh Penguins and Oilers, and 19 points (four goals, 15 assists) in 88 playoff games.
“Cody is a solid, competitive veteran defenseman who brings a well-rounded skill set to our group," Sharks general manager Mike Grier said. "He’s a strong penalty killer who can also contribute offensively, and he brings extensive playoff experience. We’re excited to have him join our organization.”
