The former Sens captain is enjoying his time with Jim Nill in Prague, and all signs point to next season's being equally fun for everyone on the Stars. Also, the Lightning are getting closer, and the Caps have used up their margin for error.
After captaining the franchise he broke into the league with over ten years ago, it's little wonder that Jason Spezza took a bit to get acclimated to Dallas during the early portion of last season. With the Stars mired in an early-season defense/goaltending allergy, things got complicated and lines got shuffled. What was supposed to be the beginning of a (we hoped) long stay in Texas instead looked a lot like the Stars had somehow found a way to disconnect the magical servos that made Spezza operate like the top draft pick and elite player he was.
