| Jason Spezza Could Become an L.A. King by trade deadline day. |
I've heard a rumour about a trade between the L.A. Kings and Ottawa Senators. I also heard that L.A. was interested in Jason Spezza. Spezza has a no-trade clause, so he would have to waive it if a trade was possible. But what does L.A. have to offer?
Well let's see.They wont trade any of their goalies, Anze Kopitar, Dustin Brown, Drew Doughty or Jack Johnson. Well, Ottawa did say they wanted roster players. Well that leaves a few good names: Ryan Smyth, Michal Handzus, Rob Scuderi, Justin Williams, etc. Could a possible trade be Spezza for Smyth, handzus and a second round pick? Well L.A. Said they wanted another player. Maybe Spezza with Filip Kuba? That will give youngsters Karlsson, Cowen and Lee a chance to stay with the big club. The kings can also put in Erik Ersberg as he will end up playing in the AHL with Quick and Bernier in the NHL. Elliot and Leclaire are shaky and Robin Lehner could be a Year away.
Im just guessing here, but this trade will take a little while to unfold.
Salary would have to definetly go the other way as Doughty, Simmonds and Johnson are all due for a new contract after next season! Spezza has a 7 mill cap hit. IF a trade was to happen the price will be extremely high and I would have to think the offer would have to start with Moller and finish with a 1st rd pick with an experienced player in the middle.
ReplyDeletelol your funny. Anything less than schenn, brown, and 1st is a fleece.
ReplyDeleteGeez... how many times does Spezza's name have to come up in trade rumours? It could have been done prior to July 1 but his no-trade clause has kicked in. Give it up already!
ReplyDeleteThey wont trade Brown only because he is a key player and their Captain. But i do agree with Moller, 1st pick and someone like Smyth
