Deal or no Deal?

Following up from yesterdays post about trying to potentially land an established number one center to play along side Rick Nash, this got me thinking. What type of package would GM Howson have to put together to land a player of Jason Spezza or Patrick Marleau’s caliber.

Between Marleau and Spezza, I believe Marleau would be easier to acquire. San Jose can afford to trade their captain as they have depth down the middle in Thornton, Pavelski and Goc. They also ended the season in disappointment; so they are ready for change and that change could start with a blockbuster deal.
