It’s tough enough to evaluate when talks should begin for older players when they’ve been playing for your franchise for years- when they only arrived in July, it’s even tougher.
The first month of the season is in the books, though, and the Stars seem pleased with Jason Spezza- so talks could be well underway and finished before Christmas even hits. One only has to look at the Boston Bruins to see what happens when a franchise waits too long to hold contract negotiations with a veteran- right winger Jarome Iginla is now flying around the ice in Colorado.
Spezza may only have two goals for the Stars so far, but the center has a mind-blowing ten assists to go with it- showing that he may have some value on the ice as a scorer, but he’s got far more value as a playmaker.
On a team full of high-scoring superstars such as Valeri Nichushkin and Tyler Seguin, keeping this passing center could be worth plenty of dough to the team- but hopefully, talks will start soon to keep the forward in Dallas a while longer.
