No To Spezza

from a Q & A with fans/writers at the Columbus Dispatch,
Q. there are a lot of questions in the hopper asking about this player or that player as possibly coming to Columbus in a trade. Rather than me posting each one, why don’t you tell us any rumors you’ve heard that might have a good chance of happening.
[Aaron Portzline] Spezza is not going to happen. Too much money. I can see a goaltender coming if Leclaire is not continuing to improve as the week goes on. The first target for Columbus is a center, not a defenseman. They like their back end right now. They want a center but they will not mortgage the future to do it ... not right now. Doug Weight is out two to four weeks, so scrap that. If the asking price for Vermette or Antropov or Stajan goes down, they could make a move.
more of the Q & A…
Hmm, the same answer I gave to about ten emailers from earlier today.
