With Spezza now being "lapped" on the IR by Anderson, Michalek, Cowen and likely Karlsson, in a couple of weeks, there is some serious worry (here, at least) that a second surgery is not out of the question. With that, two things come to mind:
1. Is Jason Spezza's NHL career is jeopardy?
2. Even if he's not hanging up his skates, can you really move forward with a 1LC who is that much of a health risk?
So, while all of this is speculation, and "Plan A" remains waiting for Spezza to rehab his injury and resume being a PPG #1 Center for this team, surely a "Plan B" has to be at least in the back of Murray's mind.
What would your "Plan B" be?
