If we get Koivu back with a 1st rounder, I will run around the city for a good 2 days straight.
I would probably trade Spezza straight-up for Koivu. It'd never happen, though. Koivu is their full-time captain and MVP, and he's signed to a great deal. I suspect we're all drastically over-estimating the return we're going to get, and then in order to justify it we'll have to retrospectively disparage Spezza's contribution to the team.
If it's Penner, Cogliano and the 31st I'm going to have a hard time cheering for the Sens for a few years. I might have to switch my allegiance to the Wings/Hawks full-time while silently rooting for the Big 3D, Regin and Lehner.
I dont think there is anyway that's the deal either. I think Murray's tenure here will be based on the next 3-4 weeks work. I cant see Murray letting Spezza go for anything less then a potential number 1 center. Be it Gagner, Brassard, Weiss, Berglund, whoever else. That's the basis for any trade IMO.
Edmonton, well, I dont think they are in it to be honest and will stick to the long term plan of rebuilding.
