    Default Rumor:Spezza to Dallas

    Discussed on TSN 1200 Ottawa today. Trying to find the source but it was coming from a Dallas reporter I think ( Mike Heika ) .

    Spezza to Dallas for Chiasson, Daley and or Dillon and Dallas' 1st round pick.

    Did anyone else catch it?

    I have read that they want a player, prospect and a 1st round pick for him so this rumor wouldnt be too far off.

    Does Dallas need a soft center enough to give up that much?
    GO WINGS!

    that and the fact Nill already showed he has no issues going out and spending big on centres (And went 2 for 3 last year IMHO)

    That would be quite the bounty return for Spezza. I don't see why they want him though?

    Jeez... Spezza is a one-year rental.
    I can't see anybody forking over a 1st round pick for him.
    That seems like crazy talk to me.

    I'd be surprised if the Stars parted with Dillon.

    more likely trevor daley than brendan dillon. i can only see this happening if they get a window to sign spezza to an extension. 2 roster players + a pick is alot to pay for a rental.
    One day I will quit fantasy hockey, today is not that day.

    Hell get one for sure especially in this draft. Later firsts are traded at the deadline as well

    Actual cost is $4m next year for Spezza (on a $7m cap hit). That's pretty cheap

    In the West, where the top teams are very good down the middle, I'd say it's very worthwhile to drop a first-rounder, 14th overall in a weak year, in order to get a full season of Spezza (and maybe convince him to stay longer)

    A Spezza/Seguin 1-2 down the middle is pretty solid.

    Trevor Daley is highly regarded on that team so don't think for a second they wouldnt keep him over Dillon. While he isn't as "sexy" for fantasy hockey, in real life Daley is a major part of that franchise and its future.

    I honestly can't imagine Dallas trading either Daley or Dillon. I don't see this being that accurate of a rumor. Chaisson and a first is more than enough, but I don't think Spezza fits with Dallas' team identity.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see them part with Dillon, but they should keep Daley.

    They have a slew of prospects waiting to play in the NHL, including some guy named Jamie Oleksiak.

    Among other who are likely ready; Cameron Gaunce, Kevin Connauton, Patrick Nemeth and they also just brought over John Klingberg who has been a regular in the Sm-Liiga + SHL for the past 4 years.

    At least this would give Dallas some much needed depth scoring - Theres a pretty significant drop off between 2nd and 3rd in forward scoring (I'll save your time and tell you it's 44 points between Benn and Eakin)

    Benn-Seguin-Nichushkin
    Roussel-Spezza-Cole

    ???

    Dallas would have to add a prospect to that, and chiasson isn't that great of a centrepiece coming back

    Also it's funny how people said I was out to lunch when I gave them my info about spezza being 100% traded this summer

    I certainly didn't say you were crazy Ev.

    How is Spezza worth more? A massively injury prone center with one deal left on his contract? That doesn't scream high price tag.

    As for the lines listed above, I can't see Lindy breaking up Roussell-Eakin-Garbutt. That line can be mega effective when they play their game.
