Spezza signs extension in Dallas

[bustaheims]

TSNBobMcKenzie: Jason Spezza's contract extension with DAL is four years with an AAV of $7.5M.

A thin UFA market just lost its top attraction.

I would have taken a big run at him this summer if he was available, but I didn't think his cap hit would be that high.

Works for Dallas though with Seguin signed to that sweetheart deal.

More than I expected him to be re-signed for, but still a good move for Dallas.

I still can't believe Nill was able to obtain long-term #1 and #2 centres within a calendar year.

Aside from their top-3 forwards and starter goalie the rest of the roster could use a lot of help, but he's still done a good job given what he had. Hemsky hasn't worked out like I thought he would.

4 years?  Thats a decent enough deal.

Stastny got 4 years last season also.  Most other notable UFAs at the time got less than that.

Seems like GM's may be wisening up on the term.
