Hard pass on Spezza. Was a floater and could never mentor by work ethic unless it is to force a roster move that helps the B-Sens gain chemistry and consistency and contributes to tank Nation.

Agreed - I really have no idea why anyone thinks he would have a positive influence on this team. Boedker and Ryan are clear example of how veteran players with suspect work ethic are deployed by DJ Smith, and I can only imagine his reaction to Spezza's career-long propensity for giveaways and limited willingness to backcheck.

Time to bench Pageau. He's too good this year and it's costing us Lafreniere.

Bad night last night. Both Sens and Sharks win. Most unfortunate.
