I really don't see the skating weakness in Spezza's game that other people seem to. He's been really good all season. >=0.5 ppg despite only playing 10 minutes a game, and getting virtually no PP time, is really impressive production. The flow of play has been in the favour of the Leafs all season when he's on the ice. And the shots for/against heatmaps very clearly vindicate his performance defensively.
It's actually pretty astounding to me that anyone could be critical of him this year. Really great depth add.
