I would prob be all for a straight up trade Spezza for Staal, at least you know you get a consistant effort from Staal every night, and he scores clutch goals.

I'm not entirely sure of that.

Lee over Staal was the dumbest move this team made in a long time until they let Chara go.

ATL has some interesting pieces for sure. CLB has a tone of guys who would be great to have, but I dont think they are going anywhere. St Louis is also another spot I could see Spezza ending up.

I kind of knew about him. But seeing him play for Ottawa, I'll enjoy seeing this kid on my team very much.

Really? I missed a large portion of the game, does he have a killer shot?

He joined the rushes, was pretty mobile, skated pretty well, but didn't shoot much.
He is the exact player that this team needed IMO. I can't wait for tomorrow's game.

We need Defensemen who shoot from the point, BADLY. N1 reason our PP sucks IMO. Every single pass is predictable.

I saw him do everything but shoot. Dung I hope he has a friggin cannon, that would make me happy. Or even better: a cannon with accuracy.
