Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News: The soon to be 35-year old Jason Spezza is entering the final year of his deal that carries a $7.5 million salary cap hit, and he’s coming off his worst NHL season.
Options are to bring him back, buy him out at $2.5 million per season, or try to trade him and having to retain salary.
“I want to sit down with Jason and see where he is at. I need to talk to the coaching staff and see where they are at with him,” Nill said Monday.
