Jason Spezza wants to stay with the Ottawa Senators.
There were a lot of trade rumors surrounding Spezza in the weeks before his no-trade clause kicked in on July 1st. There rumors were mostly sparked by the relevation that Spezza was upset after the Senators' fans booed him in the playoffs. "I just want to clear up a lot of the talk going on, at no point did I ever demand a trade to Bryan Murray," Spezza said. "I’ve seen a lot of what’s been written and talked about. At the end of the year, I was pretty emotional and upset. I was upset at losing, I was upset at response I got (booed at home), I talked to Bryan about -- I see it in the newspapers every year, they talk about me, and I said, if you want to move you can move me . . . if you think it’s best for the team. He told me he wasn’t going to move me and that was the understanding I was under." |
