The Toronto Maple Leafs and their fans really enjoyed the last three years of Jason Spezza’s career.
Playing on a series of one-year contracts at the league minimum, Jason Spezza provided offense and leadership on the Toronto Maple Leafs 4th line and 2nd power-play unit for the last three seasons.
With his great attitude and constant effort, the former 1st line superstar and borderline Hall of Famer, out-performed his contract and provided some great depth down the lineup during his time in Toronto.
But, with that said, he was a healthy scratch in the Leafs best playoff game and it was clearly time to hand up the blades.
