BREAKING: Jason Spezza is ''lost right now'' - Considers retirement
Following Toronto's heartbreaking exit from the first round of the NHL playoffs against back-to-back defending Stanley Cup champions Tampa Bay, there has been a lot of speculation about different players future's with the team.
19-year veteran of the NHL Jason Spezza is in such a position. With his contract up this off-season Spezza has said:
"«This (Toronto) is the only place where I want to play.»
Spezza says he wants to come back if he can contribute to the group. «This is the only place where I want to play.»— David Alter (@dalter) May 17, 2022
While he isn't putting up points like his glory days playing for the Ottawa Senators, Spezza is still a consistent contributor, and his leadership on the ice and in the locker-room is immeasurable.
Jason Spezza had a first intermission speech that helped get the Leafs on track.
"He's a great leader," Nylander says.— James Mirtle (@mirtle) May 11, 2022
Spezza was born in Toronto and playing for his hometown is likely a huge factor in his decision as he weighs retirement or the possibility of suiting up again for the Leafs.
Jason Spezza says he won't play anywhere but Toronto and still needs to have discussions with management to see if they still see a role for him next season.
