You Decide. Should the Sens Move Spezza?

Working on a rumor blog for later on...(waiting on a few sources) but there is an interesting debate among many of the folks I am talking to today surrounding Sens forward Jason Spezza,

I have made my opinion on Spezza clear for years. I love the guy and think he brings as much raw talent as almost any forward in the NHL. I think Spezza should be a regular on Team Canada by this point in his career for the talent he has, but I do believe he is lost in Ottawa. I think he needs a fresh start.

Of course whenever Spezza's name hits the rumor mill it tends to be with the teams we know love him and would love to grab him...Edmonton, Los Angeles and Toronto.

I don't see the Sens ever moving him to Toronto, despite the fact I have actually talked to Spezza and know his love for his hometown. Spezza could very well one day sign as a UFA in Toronto, but I don't see the Sens and Leafs making a trade of that magnitude.

If Spezza is available he will be moved out of the Conference.

Is he available? In my opinion he is not being shopped, but he is also not untouchable.

For Jason's sake I believe he would benefit greatly by a change of scenery. But that is my opinion only. Not his. Spezza wants to be a Senator. Some players "say" they want to remain, Spezza really does want to stay in Ottawa. This isn't Heatley. Not even close.

Will he be dealt? It would take some doing and I doubt it. But I would not put this in the category of impossible. In fact, I would put the chances somewhere near what the likelihood of Dion Phaneuf being moved out of Calgary was. So it could happen...but it is highly improbable.

What's the Buzz?

Do you think the Sens should move Jason Spezza?
