Oilers general manager and president Jeff Jackson continues to remake his roster and it's reported that three teams are interested in Oilers defenseman Cody Ceci.

The Oilers are looking for options in order to clear up cap space as Jackson and his team continues to search for more balance especially on the offensive lines. The 30-year-old defenseman is currently in his final year of his deal which is worth $3.2 million AAV.

Being a right-handed shot defenseman, it seems that the Dallas Stars are one team that are interested in his services. With the loss of Chris Tanev to the Toronto Maple Leafs, Ceci is an experienced defenseman who could give them productive minutes even though he may have lapses in play at times.

The San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks are also teams that are looking for defensive help. Both teams are in a full rebuild and are in need of experienced players who will help their youngsters as they develop. Both teams have plenty of cap space in their lineup that they could accommodate the entire amount for Ceci.

At this time, it appears nothing is imminent but with Jackson's style of leadership and not afraid of making deals it's clear that a player like Ceci could be on the move in the very near future.
