Speculation: All things Spezza Round II - This time it's business!

[topshelf15]

BDP did. backdoorpass didn;t.

Yep thats the one

 

[DJB]

I did i saw it on the main board here ,i dont know if it has any weight but its in line with what they offered i guess.Page 43 spezza trade thread post number 1053

I don't think that's the real BDP, this member has his old user name as "Jano" whereas the real bdp handle was "backdoorpass".

In fact here he is on the member list...

You can also tell by the way he writes too that he is different, the real backdoorpass never used capitilization and his grammar was pretty poor. He also has not made a post since # Last Activity: 07-22-2013 02:59 PM

good.......that return would have been horrible.

I quickly veered away from the trade Spezza thread on the main board after a fast read. So ridiculous it wasn't worth wasting a comment there.

 

[EssendonBombers]

People are massively whining about :
Phillips 2.5

People don't give a **** what Phillips is making. I'd still be pissed off if he was making 500k. I – and I presume most others – are more concerned about his detrimental play on the ice, and the fact that the contract prevents the team from going out to acquire someone who can actually improve this defence because the roster is full.

Yes this, and also I'd rather see Wier (and possibly Boro) on the ice rather than Phillips. The Wier - Ceci combo had some nice games near the end of the year. I can't even think of one game where the Phillips - Ceci combo was memorable.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Did BDP post that Stl's offer for Spezza is Berglund + Vannelli + 2nd? If that is the best offer that we get for Spezza, then I am keeping him until next years deadline....No way would I accept that offer

Lol that doesn't even fit the requirements Murray is at least asking for.

1st+top 6+impact prospect.

He's making a deal with Nashville/Dallas, one of them is going hard after Spezza.

I see my prediction of Oshie coming to Ottawa is picking up steam...


Excelllllleeennnnnnnnt.

This. He needs to be our 7th dman not our 3rd guy.

Picking up steam... as in, the idea is circulating amongst those "in the know" within credible NHL circles, or picking up steam as in "other HF posters are also predicting it"?

I should act like I have NHL sources too.

The latter. Alas, the thrills of HF.

Yes, but according to SensBruins4Ever, we should really temper our expectations.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

We saw Yzerman hold out on trading MSL until he got what he wanted (the second first)

Murray needs to adopt this strategy: do not trade Spezza unless you are happy with return. Worst case scenario is he starts the year in Ottawa: oh woe is us, having to tolerate a PPG top line centre in our lineup!!

 

[Super Cake]

I do wonder if Spezza is going to be traded to a team that we did not know had interest in him.

spezza is walking next year...we have to trade at this point his value is just decreasing.

St Louis had term left

 

[Rodzilla]

Seriously reading the main board is making me mad as a Senators fans. I hope St-Louis doesn't get Spezza neither Stastny and get their ***** booted in the 1st round yet again. Seriously MSL, Rick Nash, Vanek and ect returned way more than their trash offers it's laughable (I know contracts and stuff are differents but overall not so much)

No jokes if I have to settle for Patrick ****ing Berglund I'll be one crazy pissed poster. He's not even in the same world of talent as Spezza and he's 26 years old, he's never going to get better, and he just had 32 pts on a waaaaaay better team than ours.

I am sad to see this is probably our last week with Spezza. I always believe in Murray, he usually makes good trades, and I'll wait before I bash him, but this is a really important trade here, can't come back with Berglund as the main piece, just can't

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Regardless of who comes back for spezza I'm gonna be shouting as loud as I can when that guy scores. None of us will be happy with the return. I trust our core. If it's Berglund maybe he will break out in the east. Playing with zibanejad. And the guy plays a 200 ft game. That's what we've been crying for. If rattie is the other peice we have another goal scorer along with puempel. Both have put up very strong numbers in their AHL rookie seasons. And who cares if it's a weak draft. A late first round is a late first round no matter what draft your in. (2003) excluded. I trust our scouts to pick up another gem. Seeing as they've been scouting for an early 2nd this entire year I'm willing to bet we pick up the gem of the late first rounders. Screw it. I like this deal.

 

[Icelevel]

Spezza is a better player than a lot of the proposals are suggesting. but really, who cares what those people on the internet think.
Spezza is one of the best skilled players on the planet. Some people don't see enough of him to know this.
ignore the lowballers, for murray in real life, and for us, on the internet.

If the return is no good then you hold on to him and someone is going to pay the reasonnable asking price once the year gets underway.

It's risky but not getting an acceptable return is just as risky.

I would try to trade him by Christmas. Jason would also likely be very motivated to show the teams that didn't think he was worth it that he, in fact, very much is.

I just hope Murray hasn't decided that Spezza has to be traded by the draft because he wants a first: trade him just before the season starts if you must but don't accept an offer you are not 100% happy with because "we wanted a first in this year's draft"

MSL had term but he was 38 so it evens out I'd think.

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

Spezza is goodand will probably be ppg next year on a good team but i still dont think teams will offer anything substantial.

It's really too bad that they traded Perron to the Oiler's for scraps. He would've been a great starting point for a Spezza deal.

Very contradictory post.
