Jason Spezza - Trade Discussion

DefenceWinsChampionships wrote:What makes St. Louis an even more interesting partner is the fact that the only goalie they have signed next year is Jake Allen. Even then he's an RFA at the end of next season. Ryan Miller's wife lives in Los Angeles so I would not be shocked to see San Jose or Anaheim take a run at him.

I wonder if they'd be interested in a package deal for Spezza and Anderson? Wonder what the return could be?

If the Sharks lose I could for sure see them unloading Neimi to another team with only 1 year left on his deal and making Miller an offer, that's a move that makes a ton of sense and it probably won't take a boat load of cash to sign him either. 

Will the Blues make a deal for both Spezza and Anderson?  Tough to say but there's a ton of value there for the Blues and those do seem to be 2 pieces that could help them in terms of what they are missing.

Niemi and Miller are pretty much the same animal, no point there.

Are they? Niemi has played on stacked teams his whole career. Miller not so much. Like I said, wife is in LA so it makes more and more sense.

I really appreciate the high-level of educated discussion in GMhockey.

I'd be impressed if miller to Sj materializes. I think we can say that goaltending is not the Sharks issue at this point.

How can you even say you have 3 goalies and one net, when Miller and Elliot are both UFAs? The whole premise of the article is really stupid. They obviously aren't going to resign both Miller and Elliot with Jake Allen there.

You are, just not the paid kind.

Friedman said on TGOR this morning that he expects Spezza to be traded before the draft.

Not after they show The Rally on the evenings news.

there's a huge difference between expect and having insider information. i don't care much for speculation, we're just as capable of doing that.

He knows where it's at.

Extension signed before draft. Book it.
