Murray revealed that he asked Spezza some important questions that he needed to get answers to before he was given the captaincy. No doubt this would include fishing for hints as to Spezza's long term commitment to the team, with the newly minted captain only under contract for the next two seasons.

Obviously it would be crushing for the Senators to lose another captain to free agency - particularly if Spezza decided he wanted to play in his native Toronto.
