Spezza has put off any retirement plans for now but will hit unrestricted free agency on July, 1 for the very first time in his career after agreeing to part ways with the Dallas Stars. The veteran center still has plenty to offer and he could be an intriguing option for the Vegas Golden Knights.
As we’ve discussed in great detail already, the Golden Knights aren’t in the market for a huge star in free agency this offseason, so rule out any potential moves for blockbuster names in the ilk of Artemi Panarin or Erik Karlsson.
No, the Knights have already gone down that road with the signings of Max Pacioretty and Mark Stone and, with not a lot of wriggle room left when it comes to the salary cap, any additions the franchise do make this summer will be of the more modest variety.
