Now that the Ottawa Senators have signed Jason Spezza to a long-term deal to effectively lock up the core of their team for the long-term future, it's time for them now to do something bold.

But Murray, like a number of other executives, is making noise about acquiring Peter Forsberg, the only perennially injured, non-playing player in NHL history who appears to be getting better the longer he sits out.
