I found it weird that during the Melnyk interview at the Heritage Classic, he stopped the interview and made a statement about hoping Bryan Murray were watching the interview on tv. This was in the midst of the reporter asking if he was a buyer and seller. Melnyk responded they were buyers and that Murray had full control of decision making.

Maybe this was the decision they were talking about?

I've never thought of Spezza from a Melnyk perspective. Big pay cheque, injured all of last year, +/- numbers stacked against him, regressing, no defensive game, bring in a high profile player to play with him and they don't click.... nor does he click with anyone else on the team (Ryan clicks with everyone), fan base doesn't really like him.... I can go on and on and list why Melnyk may not like him. Maybe he wants Spezza out?

If Spezza is moved before the deadline it's because he has demanded a trade.

You think Spezza is asking? What's his motive?

The organization seems to treat him quite well and up until today seemed intent on finding him a scoring winger. They even brought one in this off-season at the expense of Alfredsson to build a team around him.

What changed?

So that TMurr can make the "I'm happy to keep both players on our roster" argument against the bag of pucks other GMs are trying to pry them away with.

lol, this is getting bizarre.  

NEELY wrote:One more time I don't think Spezza is traded at the deadline but he has for sure asked for a trade.  Basically Spezza's agent saying "we haven't been asked for a list" is like saying "we asked for a trade and Murray is exploring the options and if he comes back to us with a team we like, we will waive".
