The Ottawa Senators signed defenseman Cody Ceci to a two-year, $5.6-million contract on Tuesday, the team announced.
Ceci - who had been a restricted free-agent - will make $2.25 million this upcoming season and see a $1.1-million raise for the 2017-18 campaign.
The #Sens didn't want a six year deal that Ceci's camp was seeking. In two years everyone can evaluate where he's at.

The 22-year-old is coming off his second-full season with the Senators since being drafted 15th overall in 2012. He notched a career-high 10 goals and and 26 points in 75 games last year, placing him second behind captain Erik Karlsson among Ottawa's blue-liners.
With Ceci under contract, the club has now addressed all of its pending free agents.
