On Canada Day 2014, the Ottawa Senators franchise took quite the hit when they traded their star centre Jason Spezza. To say that folks were a bit underwhelmed by the package that came back from Dallas would be a bit of an understatement. We didn’t know at the time but it turns out, the most intriguing piece of that trade was a young player by the name of Nick Paul. He was 19 at the time of the trade, a third round pick from the Dallas Stars and largely not as shiny of a return as you’d expect for a player like Jason Spezza.
