Senators GM Murray: If deal for Spezza 'is not satisfactory, we can't do it'
Ottawa Senators general manager Bryan Murray continued to make the rounds Thursday morning, addressing the Jason Spezza situation and admitting he is not 100 percent bound to make a trade.
Murray on the odds of Spezza staying: "if it (a deal) is not satisfactory we can't do it. And he has a year left on his contract." #sens

Murray added he doesn't expect a deal to happen quickly, saying "It appears there will be many" phone calls before the process comes to a conclusion, one way or another.
Spezza has one year left on his current contract, with a $7-million cap hit to boot.
