Why don't you take a break from your bullpoop bashing and actually provide an answer....

What do you think is Nash's contract?

What do I think is Nash's contract?

I think his contract is 7.8 million per year until 2018.

Penner? Really? That idea's still being tossed around? I'd say pass on that for sure.

He was my second option if Nash or JVR can't be had via trade...
- Pen15


Wouldn't that make him your 3rd option then? LMAO

And I don't want Nash OR Penner personally. JVR is a maybe with me. I haven't seen him play much, but I heard he doesn't use his size AT ALL

Looks like people are divided on how much time we need to develop some players and prospects, vicious circle.

i dont disagree.. however.. we have five.. oh wait.. now 6 new guys vying for spots on the marlies.. so.. room will have to be made.. a straight up FA signing probably is a bad idea all around
- Dozzer

I see your point...but of the 5 guys going for a spot next year, only 1 has a legit shot to be a power forward....the rest are small & skilled.

IMO, if we don't sign or trade for a PF, we'll be in the exact same position next year....getting pushed around on a nightly basis.

Schenn and Kulemin for Lindback. That's how you get ahead in the game.

Well done...you identified a typo that I had already fixed...you then went into my acutal quote and changed it back...

How old are we again?

Still waiting for you to provide an original thought for once....Nash's price point...

I'll wait...

If that happened Burke would get thrown out of Toronto 5 minutes after the call is made.

So by signing a 30 year old, lazy, "power forward", who would probably play between 12 and 15 minutes a night, the Leafs would no longer get pushed around on a nightly basis?

That's an incredible impact Penner must have. To play 15 minutes and yet still intimidate the other team for the other 45 minutes.

Who would you say are some of the top stay at home dmen in the game today?
- Pen15


Well, how does Schenn's development curve/age compare to the following:

Robyn Regeher (was one of the best in the game)
Willie Mitchell (was one of the best in the game)
Marc Staal (injuries limited him this season)
Braydon Coburn
Dan Girardi
Dan Hamhuis
Doug Murray
Brooks Orpik
Ryan McDonagh

Or in the past:
Keith Carney?
Adam Foote?

Or just take a look at who you would consider the best, and tell me if they were better than Schenn at 18-22.

It's precisely a 2nd round pick more than whatever Anders Lindback costs.

Two options (#1 we trade, #1 we sign UFA). But I guess it can also be positioned as 3.

I'd take Nash if the price is right...I think we'll be able to get him for a discount if Howsen gets desperate enough.

I'd also take Penner but only if the price is right. I'm afraid his play in the playoffs will probably drive up his tag to the point where we shouldn't sign him...

yup, so since the sign a FA route doesnt look good.. and there isnt much to promote PF wise.. then a trade is the only real option

He'd have a press conference within 5 minutes and convince everybody it's a great move.

What do you think we'd have to give up to get Lindback or Bernier?

The beginning of thought is in disagreement, not only with others but also with ourselves.

The talking heads said Howson wanted 4 young assets in a Nash deal. The argument was that a guy like Nash should typically fetch 3 good young assets. A good young roster player, a top prospect, and a #1 pick.

Clb wanted more.

The market will depend on how many teams Nash puts on his list. The bigger the list ...the bigger the interest ...the higher the price.
