Pretty sure Spezz will retire if he isn't returning to Toronto. That said it would be insanely funny to see things come full circle and have him play on the same line as Nick Paul.

There's really no reason for Chris Tierney to be back next year imo. They have so many good young bottom six forwards they just don't need him.

Agree on all Spezza comments. As for Tierney... he is under contract, so unless we move him or Seattle takes him... he's back.

As for the rest of it...No need for Murray. Sanderson is going back to UND (already announced) but Mete and Zub will absolutely be back. Even if they both go to arbitration Ottawa will pay the one year deal and ship them at the trade deadline.
