Spezza traded to Dallas

Real_ESPNLeBrun: Trade not official yet but Senators have agreed to deal Jason Spezza to Dallas. More to come.
 
TSNBobMcKenzie: DAL trades Alec Chiasson, Alex Guptill, Nicholas Paul and 2nd round pick in 2015 to OTT for Jason Spezza and Ludvig Karlsson. #TSN
 
Spezza, Seguin and Benn up front with Lehtonen in net? If the Stars were in the East they'd be one of the best teams. Still not top-5 in the West though.
 
So one roster player, two ok prospects and a second? Seems to me like Dallas did alright.

Chiasson had a decent rookie season this past year. Guptill is an NCAA prospect. No idea who the other guy is. The only "Nicolas Paul" I can find in hockeydb is undrafted with no North American hockey experience.

Chiasson had a good rookie season, but he's probably just a 3rd line guy. Don't know much about the other two but a quick glance would suggest they aren't anything special. Another case of a NTC killing a players value.

Yeah, good value - though, very easily could be for one year of Spezza, which balances it out a little.

Sounds like Murray just wanted it over before noon.

They must, yeah. Way to use the wrong first name, McKenzie!

Wrote "Alec" instead of Alex too for Chiasson. He's obviously celebrating Canada Day a lot harder than we are.

The Senators aren't done by a longshot. More trades coming today.

Some teams go years talking about a need to add a legit top six center. In two off-seasons, Jim Nill has added Tyler Seguin and Spezza.

I'm not really trying to connect this to Toronto as obviously Boston and Ottawa weren't trading those guys here, but Nill has done a pretty terrific job in Dallas.

I agree about Nill but I don't think Chiarelli would have had a problem with dealing Seguin to Toronto if the Leafs had been capable of making a better offer than Dallas did.
