Seven years? Sigh, I'd like to see the Leafs moved back to what used to be the Norris division.

I like the Heatley signing I think we will see Jason Spezza signed soon and it makes it eaiser to Jason Spezza.

Spezza is a great player and kudos to the Sens if they lock him up also. If not they won't be idiots, they just locked up their Marquee player. The truth is that Heater wins games, he scores the goals and without Spezza he will still be an Elite player in the League. I don't know if I could guarantee the same for Spezza. He has amazing hands and chemistry with Heatley but, if he goes for the dollars, he may not get the guarantee to play with a 2 time 50 goal scorer and could potentially ruin his status. The smart move would be to make millions of dollars with the Sens and have a great career with a quality player rather than get that extra mill or so and gamble with his status.

They absolutely have the cap space to re-sign Spezza — Redden's contract comes off of the books this season, so that will cover the raises owed to Heatley and Spezza.

The question now is, will they be able to re-sign Spezza, i.e., if or when another team throws a huge offer at him as a RFA (like with Thomas Vanek and Justin Penner)?

The Sens better hope it works out. If they lose Spezza, they'll look like idiots.

And Nik Antropov is on pace for 164 goals, which would easily break Gretzky's record. Just thought I should throw that in.

As of tonight Heater is on pace for a 246 point season….so far, so good for the Sens.
