Sean Shapiro: Stars GM Jim Nill and coach Jim Montgomery will likely decide before the end of the month what they plan to do with forward Jason Spezza.
They’ll talk about if Spezza could fit into their new system. Nill also plans on talking with Spezza, who is entering the final season of his deal at a $7.5 million cap hit. Spezza’s contract won’t affect if the Stars are active this offseason or not.
Buying out Spezza would save them $5 million off the salary cap for next season, but add $2.
