Nash is big but he doesn't play like it nor is he a center. I don't see him willfully accepting to walk into a zoo like Toronto. Why would he? He can choose where he goes.

True Nash could go anywhere but he probs has a short list... Toronto is on that list just because it's home... also from the rumours this year.

Centre and Goalie first... everything else second... the team is already loaded on wings... just need Big centres down the middle

This does make sense.

If Burke is looking to get Nash, the highest I would accept is Lupul, Gunnarsson and Kadri. Beyond that, it isn't worth it anymore.

Ya that would be foolish.
It might be what it cost...but simply not worth it.

i agree with most of this post
but c'mon
winning streaks because of winning. who knew?

- bobbyisno1


I know, it reads so "duhhhh really?" but I meant that when you're a confident team you can turn losing streaks around into winning streaks vs. a team that completely lacks that winning culture (like the Leafs), in which losing streaks turn into record-setting, playoff-busting collapses.

Big bodies who don't play like big bodies defeats the purpose of having a big body.

Toronto isn't on Nash's list just because it's home. If anything, that creates even more pressure for him. Why would he willingly walk into a situation where he would be instantly expected to lift the team on his back and succeed? Not likely.

I think Lupul, Gunnarsson and Kadri would be a fair price to pay. Obviously, Columbus will want a lot more but that's as high as the Leafs should go.

If the Leafs actually came out with the first overall (which I doubt) this place will go nuts.

Burke will still trade the pick away... even if they won the lottery. He's going to be working hard after this lottery... working hard in all the wrong places
