So, what u r saying is: Spezza makes Alfie and Heater better players? Do u think if he was playing with Sim, Rucchin, Mellanby, etc he'd make them better too? Somehow I doubt he'd have the same point totals if he'd be playing with those guys, but what do I know.
Well he is the best player I have ever seen play for the sens. That includes Hossa, Yashin, Havlat, Heatley and Alfy. The guy is an absolute threat every time he is on the ice. Watch his puck control speed and creativity. Watch how one head fake backs off the defensemen because they know he can beat them with speed, a deke, a back door pass or a quick release. He has all the tools to beat you.
Alfredsson does it all but man Spezza makes this team tick. Everyone around him is better when he is on the ice. All 5 guys turn into a threat to score. The scary thing is like all big guys he just keeps getting better.
While I think Kovalchuk is a more effective player then Spezza when playing with guys like Sim Mellanby etc. Spezza would be the better player with skilled players. I dont think the basic nhler thinks on the same level offensively as Spezza so it doesnt mesh. I think he could take on a different style while playing with weaker players but he wouldnt be as affective.
