All this Spezza talk reminds me of the South Park episode where each character has a chance to say, "That's what I call a sticky situation."
But usually in "sticky situations" involving a player wanting to be traded, the player is the 1 making his point across that he wants out...
But here, the person that keeps adding more fuel to the fire is Sens GM Bryan Murray...and the fire grew even more with yesterday's comments
I'm trying to decide why Murray would comment about Spezza to the media and further speculation...what is the end gain by opening his mouth?
My only genuine theory is that he's just too candid for his own good and doesn't shy away from a question...you can all stop laughing now...
Either that or the Senators are tired of waiting for Spezza to live up 2 his full potential or they believe he's reached his peak already...
Let's look from all vantage points...if Murray wants him and Spezza wants to stay, why bring up convos that were supposed to remain private?
If Murray wants him 2 stay, but Spezza wants out...why make your bargaining position look weaker by portraying him as someone who wants out?
If Murray and Spezza both want out, then both sides should agree 2 keep their mouths shut in order to make a move that's good for both sides
Something doesn't add up...it's clear that one or both sides are unhappy and something has 2 be done...that's what I call a sticky situation
