Thread: Hyman coming back Saturday
I like keeping Spezza over Shore for a few reasons.
1) I think he's a better voice in the locker-room, having a veteran presence with lots of playoff and regular-season experience with this young team can be good.
2) Some of the benefits of Shore - faceoffs and checking can be covered by Spezza
3) If we look at Shore are better PK option than Spezza let's look at everyone else in the leafs forwards who would receive PK time before Spezza. 1) Marner 2) Kapanen 3) Moore 4) Hyman 5) Mikheyev 6) Goat. I think Spezza is just FINE as the leafs 7th forward PK option and will get better with more reps.
4) Spezza slots in further up the lineup in case of injury better than Shore does.
5) Finally and this is purely sentimental - Babcock has been an asshole to Spezza and Spezza has been a good soldier and worked hard and kept his head up for the sake of the team. I also think he's a fundamentally decent guy and deserves better.
