He would have received more + more years if he would have signed somewhere besides St Louis or Colorado. Not upset at all at $7M for 4 years. He was the #1 UFA center.

Not surprised by the Spezza trade. I didn't expect Ottawa to get the haul that fans were wanting.

i'm happy with what they got for spezza.....i think it was better than what st louis was offering.

i would have preferred a 1 for 1 for a bit better player......but a young top six guy, two decent prospects, and a 2nd rd pick......that's not bad.

and just cuz a player would have received more elsewhere, doesn't mean he still isnt' overpaid......see david clarkson

at the end of the day, blues got their guy and sens got a better deal then if they had traded with st louis. i think both teams are happy they didn't deal with eachother.

HOW THE HELL ARE WE GOING TO GET TO THE FLOOR? THIS IS A DISASTER ALL CAUSED BY MELNYK, NO ONE WANTS TO COME HERE. IF THIS CONTINUES, THE LEAGUE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING.

Essentially Spezza traded to Dallas for the first overall pick in 2016.

i still think the blues will not get pass the 2 round in the playoffs, i still think they need to improve in nets, brian elliote wont cut it.

Funny, that Spezza return looks pretty in line with the Gaborik return. Chiasson is a better young guy than Frattin, I'll agree to that. The prospects dealt are not front-burner guys. Bottom 6 at best, probably AHL guys. Funny how Sens fans have flip-flopped on an acceptable trade package for Spezza.

Oh, and who called that before the Kesler deal even went down? Lick that window!! LMAO!!!!!!!!! Uninformed and stupid, my a$$.

I wrote re-sign, nice try though

Whats your guys unbiased thoughts on Leafs signing Robidas?

Havlat in Jersey. 1.5/1 year. Not that's a good deal. He wasn't interested coming back here. I imagine Jagr helped the process.

Poor return for Spezza, and to make the Hemsky trade look even stupider Dallas signed him - Murray telling it at both ends from Jim Nill today.

probably not bad...hes old and was super broken last year..but if hes healthy its not bad..3mil per isnt terrible at least in the first year...term is a little long for a 37 year old...

overal considering the terribleness the leafs could have gotten into, its nothing to be upset about.

Good veteran presence. I think the money is a bit to high, but he'll definitely stabilize the back-end.

Love the guy, true warrior. I worry about his health though. 3 years is a tough pill. I guess he filled the role they had open for Gorges.

The 2 right leg breaks in a year is very concerning but if he can stay healthy I like him on any blueline.

this looks like you just mashed the keyboard and those words came out in no particular order

wow... as a sens fan... but specially as a hockey fan: WHATS WRONG WITH OTTAWAS GM???
for me it looks like they will do a big run McDavid in the 2015 draft....

havlat, cammilieri, moulson, vanek, miller gone...
who will score goals for ottawa? not michalek with his new overpaid contract... oh i know... heatley is available... MURRAY SUCKS!
