Jason Spezza essentially will be playing with the Lakers of the Swiss League for free. For Spezza, it's all about staying sharp and making sure his family is comfortable. The $50,000 he has to pay per month for insurance will wipe out anything he'll earn in Switzerland. "I'm pretty much going over there for free, just to keep playing," Spezza said. "It's more just about that I hope, when the season gets started, I can kind of hit the ground running and be feeling real good about my game, and then be ready to step in. ... I was going to try and wait a little bit longer, but I wanted to make sure my family is in a good spot. I didn't want to go over without my kids, so it was important to make the decision early, I guess, and get everybody settled in."
