Thread: Toronto Maple Leafs signed Jason Spezza (1 Year / $750,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pharrow</b></div><div>the guy had his best season in 4 seasons in you want to compare him to St.Louis.
That's why I compare him to Thornton. The play is clearly downside for years now. You just hope and pray he is going to perform decently. There are so many younger players who offer more. But people like you clutch on. All in a name and familiarity.</div></div>

And Yet on some nights played better and more consistently than someone being paid around 11 Mil on the same team. He's good depth and shows up when others don't yes he's getting older as all players do but he's still good at the game, still is good when it comes to winning faceoffs.

They lose nothing with this contract, if they wanna play young they can just sit him for games, to have a player who can play like him for the cost he is receiving is just worth it. He's asking for nothing for the chance to help bring a team who struggles with Consistency some consistency with a player who is trying every game because it could be his last game.

And if you wanna talk age Corey Perry plays fantastic for the Montreal Canadians being only 2 years younger than a guy like Spezza but still makes an impact while some of the other big stars were struggling early. You can keep saying younger players over more and yet some of the old guys are the ones actually doing the work for all the teams even if you can't see it.
