Speaking on Sportsnet 960 The Fan on Monday, Hockey Night in Canada's Elliotte Friedman cited St. Louis as having interest in Spezza, along with a couple other Western Conference clubs.
“St. Louis is a team looking for offence and I think Nashville is a team looking for offence,” Friedman said. “Spezza would waive his no-trade I think to go to a place like Nashville. They’re going to have a new coach that’s going to preach offence and also Mike Fisher’s there so Spezza will have somebody who he really knows on that team.”
“The team that I heard was really in on him during the regular season was Anaheim,” Friedman added.
