Spezza?

I think Grabovski has 0 value to the sens because of his contract status.

They'd have trouble re-signing him.
 
Speaking of the Sens, I went over to capgeek and was wondering why they have a "buyout" listed under Alfredsson in addition to his salary?

They had to buy out the option year of his old pre-cap contract when they signed him to an extension.

I think I just did that with my mini-van.  Huh? ???

IIRC, it's left over from his pre-lockout deal.

He had a payout due to him if a team options year was declined, and this is the cap hit for that.
 
I can't believe that there would be a Leaf fan that wouldn't want a ppg+ 6'3" player who has atleast 7 years left as a  #1 center.

I have seen him used improperly by his last coach (like as a shutdown center against Crosby in the playoffs which was absolutely idiotic when the Sens had Fisher and Kelly also as centers!!!) but he is an elite puck carrying forward with a great shot.  I don't think there is a forward on the Leafs who is more valuable.  The only forward I would hesitate in trading would be Kulemin but even he is replaceable.
 
What a waist of space. why would we give up top prospects for that clown. we are rebuilding not tearing down. giving up them three for him would be a massave step back.

In a heart beat? Personally, I don't think so. I think they're of fairly equal talent. Is the extra 1.6 mil. on Spezza's cap hit justified because he plays center? Maybe. I think it's fairly close to a wash and unless I have a winger in my system capable of 40+ goals per year on the cusp, I might opt to not do that deal just for the sake of doing it.

Even if we say that the two are fairly close offensively, I'd say Spezza is a much more complete player than Kessel. And I think that difference is worth an extra 2.5% of the salary cap. The only thing that would make me hesitate is that it would completely mess up the complexion of our team, especially with the Connolly signing. But if this offer was made to us in June and we were able to sign the right-wing equivalent of Connolly (aka Ryder), then yeah I'd make the trade pretty quickly.
