Still it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a superstar center show Money the ins and outs and I do like a lot of Spezza's game pair that with the fact that getting guys like Wideman off the books and cutting a few of the shorter guys like Huds is most likely what we are going to see anyways in the future and this seems like a good opportunity to change the direction and style of this team dramatically.
To Ottawa
Hudler
Wideman (20 % taken by flames)
Granlund
Col 2nd
To Calgary
Spezza
Ott 4th
It seems like a lot to pay but it is a moot point regardless as I can't see Spezza waiving to come to Calgary.

I would much rather see a package like that going to Florida for their first.
Even though I like spezza, I would much rather try to sign him next summer than trade assets for one year of service during the second summer of the rebuild. I still wish we had traded phaneuf for spezza.... Oh well.
