Right now these guys can get you tons of prospects and players in return. I am not claiming have the same return as those guys I mentioned. As for Spezza, I don't think the rumour of discontent is true. I feel for the guy because the fans in Ottawa and even his coach MacLean makes him a scapegoat sometimes. Like I said before, I would be so cool seeing Spezza in Flames uniform but Backlund won't be part of the deal.

I never said for spezza
In general terms...Backlunds value may never be higher. If he has a so-so year this upcoming season with this roster. I think we can call a spade a spade and just say he is what he is. Decent 3rd liner
