Cody Ceci played quite well with Patrick Wiercioch on the second pairing late last year, but he was too dependant on him. Ottawa needs Ceci to develop his game further if the Senators want to make a push into contention
If you ask Ottawa Senators fans what they think the teams biggest weakness is, the majority of them will say the blueline. Their defense hasn't been a strongpoint for a long time, and this coming season probably won't be any different. However, they could see some improvement from one specific player which would help the team immensely.
