Senators' Cody Ceci: Negotiations at standstill
Negotiations for a new contract between the Senators and Ceci have hit an impasse, Don Brennan of the Ottawa Sun reports.
Analysis:
While it's clear that the Sens have no plans to part ways with Ceci, the two sides have stopped talking, leaving the possibility of a training camp holdout on the table. The blueliner showed significant strides this season, setting or equaling career highs across the board. Ottawa sees his potential, but the 22-year-old may need to show more before getting the team to commit the big bucks.
