I'm talking about all that and I agree with you. But I'm sure you know that Spezza had matured a lot. He's a completely different man now. I hate his injury issues and that is the only reason he shouldn't be captain, but I think he will be anyway.
Anyway, not official yet, so....
Exactly. Spezza is ready, was waiting and just happened a year sooner than expected with no explaination.

What I know right now is that Alfie had a blank cheque from Ottawa and chose to go elsewhere if those Detroit reports are true.
This is on Alfie. So confused. I will never understand his decision. I hope the Wings miss the playoffs.
You are missing my point. It doesn't matter that Alfredsson had a blank check. If the team isn't going to make moves to be better for the next two years along with re-sign him, then he leaves.
Why sign for 2 million if they aren't going to use the money elsewhere to improve a Cup run chance. Why sign for 6 million if you want a chance to contend.
I have no problem with the decision he made. I completely respect it.
The team will finish ahead of Detroit next year. Mark my words.
It's obviously not about the money. Whether or not Detroit is better than Ottawa is up in the air - more moves could come to either team. Alfie has his own opinion as well.
I'm assuming he didn't want to sign with Boston (better team) because they are sort of rivals and it would hurt the fans more. Also, Detroit plays a similar system to Ottawa so it will be a seamless move. Lots of Swedish connections as well.
