SAN JOSE — The San Jose Sharks made a deal with the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday night, acquiring defenseman Cody Ceci and a 2025 third-round draft pick for defenseman Ty Emberson.
“Cody is a solid, competitive veteran defenseman who brings a well-rounded skill set to our group,” Sharks defenseman Mike Grier said in a statement. “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.”
In 786 NHL games with Ottawa, Toronto, Pittsburgh and Edmonton, Ceci has 211 points (48 goals, 163 assists) and 170 penalty minutes.
Ceci has also appeared in 88 Stanley Cup playoff games with Ottawa, Toronto, Pittsburgh and Edmonton and posted 19 points (four goals, 15 assists) and 20 penalty minutes, including scoring the series-clinching, game-winning goal in Game 7 against Los Angeles in the 2022 Western Conference First Round.
The six-foot-three, 210-pound Ottawa, Ontario native was originally selected by Ottawa in the 2012 NHL Draft (first round, 15th overall).
Emberson appeared in 30 games with San Jose in 2023-24 after being claimed off waivers from the New York Rangers on Sept. 30, 2023. He posted ten points (one goal, nine assists) and six penalty minutes.
