Substitute in the name Nurse for Ceci and the exact same thing applies.. his offensive forays are 99% of the time fruitless.. and will almost always create a grade A chance against going the other direction..
I'd argue he needs to be the one responsible defensively .. not just his partner.. (whether its Ceci or someone else).. I mean its not like Nurse is a Kris Letang .. and he's a guy that provides some legit offense for the team.. and you need a defensively conscious partner to cover for the risks he needs to take to get it..
Unfortunately Nurse's offensive ability is not what he thinks it is.
The funny thing is, I remember an interview where he said he studies film all summer.. must be Netflix he's watching.
As a coach.. what can you do with this guy? I'm sure they tell him to play defense first.. yet

While I think it's a little fashionable to crap on Darnell Nurse, the fact is that he's actually decent offensively.
With limited powerplay time, over the last three years he has 114 points in 209 games. He's also been highly net positive in that time. He's +71 over those three years. His game is not mistake-free, and he certainly made a glaring one on that goal against last game. I think the Oilers over-paid for him when they signed him to the big contract, and they missed some obvious arguments as to why not to commit that much money at that time.
That said, he is a good defenceman who adds a lot to the team at both ends of the ice, and he shouldn't be judged solely on the high visibility plays.
