** I know Spezza didn't want to come to Canada back then. This is based on the appeal that he'd get a bigger role with Habs than in Dallas.
For Dallas :
Max Pacioretty
13th pick 2018
Devin Shore
Jason Spezza (25% retained)
Thoughts? Doable?
For Dallas :
- Dallas needs help up front after their 1st line
- Pacioretty-Radulov have proven chemistry
- 75% of Spezza's money off could be use to improve the team this summer/plan to sign Pacioretty long term
- Habs get a mid 1st round pick to draft a potential C (Veleno, Kotkaniemi, Kupari, Hayton) + solve LHD with their own pick
- Get a youngish C in Shore hoping he becomes more than a 35 pts C with increased usage
- Gets Spezza to fill the gap for 1 year. Hopefully he likes it here (& perform as a 2C standard) and sign another 1 year deal after his current contract
