I've got sources saying a Spezza to CBJ deal is 99% done and both teams are working to get it done tonight. No word on return yet.

i see Brassard, Huselius, and the 4th overall for Spezza. that wouldn't be too bad for ottawa if that is the case.

HUGE OVERPAYMENT

Brassard and a second for Spezza would be even, but Brassard and Huselius and the 4th would be criminal. If they sent out Brassard and Huselis for Spezza it's insanity.

BREAKING - it's Eklund. This thread should just get nuked now. I shoulda known this would end up being an Eklund bullshittery.

From Darren Dreger's twitter:
"I just asked Bryan Murray if I can kill the 'Spezza to Columbus rumour'...he replied, 'yes, please do.' End of story. For now."

I wanted to check it to see if there any more rumors not yet posted and I saw he had tweeted that less than 20 seconds ago. I feel kind of special getting to that first, lol. Unfortunately, that's the only source I have.

I hope Ottawa keeps/gets stuck with Spezza. The current chemistry in Ottawa is a good thing for us.

I'd rather him be gone, whether or not Ottawa "improves" from any deal. The guy simply murders the Sabres.

yeah....go out west with Heatley!

It was terrible, man. When I finally saw the pieces involved, it clicked that something wasn't right. I felt violated.

even though its a moot point, I think Huselius is too streaky to make the deal worth it.
