I could possibly see Benn for Spezza being a good deal. I would still be a tentative because there is still a lot of uncertainty around whether he can be a 1st line centre or simply a 1st line winger. We can't really afford to trade Spezza unless we are getting a number 1 centre back.
As for Couture, San Jose we need to add for me to be interested. In terms of a 1-for-1 deal I would think that San Jose would be getting the far better deal.
Benn's a 1st line centre. He was last year and he was extremely productive.
Spezza's age and injury history make either of those trades a slam dunk for Ottawa. You guys are really underrating Couture and Benn
You're talking about a team missing Spezza that had Redden, Chara, Vermette, Fisher, Havlat, Prime Phillips, Prime Alfie and Prime Heatley vs. a team with old man Alfie...old man Phillips, Turris and Karlsson.
This guy will really work at his trolling.
What??
Dude, I used ALL the seasons since 2005, including the bad ones.
AND I compared the record with and without Spezza; the quality of the team means nothing, because it theoretically remains the same except for Spezza when he is in or out (not 100% true, but close enough).
If the stacked 2006-07 team was better without Spezza (which it was), then it's better without Spezza. Maybe Spezza isn't as good as you think?
You have a Huge boner for Spezza. You're so biased, you can't discuss anything involving him rationally.
Couture and Benn are clearly more valuable and desirable players... you're just lucky I didn't say Matt Duchene.
