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

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.
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
???
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.
