On July 1st, 2014, Jason Spezza received a long-awaited call telling him that his everyday life would be seeing a major transition. After much speculation in the prior two months, it was officially announced that Spezza had been traded to the Dallas Stars.
Spezza, 32, came in as the main second act to Stars GM Jim Nill‘s three-part performance that could end up having more acts, though it has yet to be decided.
But in Nill’s second offseason as general manager of the Dallas Stars franchise, he made another blockbuster acquisition when he picked Spezza up.
