Countless blind back passes at the blue line resulting in odd man rushes. I would take Neil before Spezza in MTL any day as would most GM’s in the league IMO. I agree, Ottawa is better off without Spezza in the lineup.

I wonder if most Hab fans feel this way.
LOL

Spezza is a wimp and will always be a wimp.
Do I wish he would hit someone or anyone sometime.
Yes
Do I wish he would use his size once in a while.
Yes
He's basically half of the Sedin twins.
That being said.....

There is not a single GM in the league that wouldn't take the 4th leading scorer in the NHL last year and put him in the lineup if healthy.

Playoffs or not.

Anyone that thinks a team would pass on Spezza the Sedin's or any other wimpy point per game player is delusional.
