I'm gonna say it now. Nash is needed here in Toronto...yesterday. Burke needs to land Nash right darn now! Get rid of Phaneuf and some others and bring in Nash, make him Captain and let's get rolling on a playoff push and momentum for next season should we still not make it. I for one stand by my opinion that Nash would change everything for the Leafs in a hurry with the right bloody Coach even if it takes till next season to make a coaching change. Nash for Captain I say!!

[The-Truth-Hurts]

NOOOOOO!!! lol price is too high we can find someone else to help for cheaper

[ChrisMiss]

It would be amazing. Too high of a price as seen by the Carter trade... CBJ wants Gardiner, Burke doesn't wanna let him go - therefore there is no discussion.

[EricsMelon]

As much as I would love to see Nash as a Leaf, and he would easily be the best one since Sundin. I think it would be wiser to go goalie shopping.Still love Nash though.......

[metallicarocks65]

I hear what you all are saying...but really, this group is not working out for many reasons including Coach Wilson. I say we bring in Nash et al in a multi player deal and build around a franchise player...starting by making him Captain when he arrives pronto. Bring up any of the young Marlies with heart and potential NHL potential and lets play ball...they will be hungry and it would give BB a good look at what these futures are really made of. I don't freakin care right now.

That is hard logic to argue with..somthing needs to happen, you hit a bullseye there.

I'm not the GM, but I know I would get rid of 50% of our current roster and start building around Nash and one or two other star players brought in...what the H is the risk...if the current payroll ain't paying dividends why lose stock!! Bring up Colbourne Kadri and most of the young talents you are able to hang onto visa vi trades and start again. Nothing to lose, really.

[Schennanigans]

It is not very likely that Nash becomes a Leaf . Burke can't part with the kind of players and picks Columbus wants and if he does get set for years of middle of the pack finishes to the season because the Leafs won't be able to upgrade the rest of the team without dumping salaries .

Nash couldn't make Columbus a winner with talent like Carter how will he change the Leafs fortunes ? Beside that he is a RW does he take Kessel's spot on the top line ?

Sad part is, this would be the year to do it. Strong draft, strong players at ALL positions. I agree with you completly that some youth should be brought up, their energy might help kickstart the team. I firmly believe next year barring any trades our third line is going to be:

Frattin-Colbourne-Kadri

One can dream..lol

We would lose both Colborne, Kadri, Gardiner and a 1st rounder to acquire Nash.

Basically we would get nash to start a rebuild or potentially just trade other pieces for picks and hope that the FA pool can fit all the OTHER significant holes on our team.

I'm all for Nash but the price might be too steep unless Scott Howson lowers his price.

Your kidding right ? You want the Leafs to attract a player like Nash then ask him to play with a bunch of AHL players that can't make the team as it is ?
You do realize that the best of that talent would have to go to Columbus for Nash then we would have a weaker team than Columbus did with Nash and Carter so we could take over the basement right on good plan .
God I'm glad your not the GM .

If you read my post correctly, you would have read.. I would get rid of 50% of our current roster and start building around Nash and one or two other star players brought in..Star players in a multi player deal if it could be done. That way you are really not playing with a basement team...you are playing with an upgrade in say 3 to 4 players from the old roster and would be equally as capable of competing for the playoffs again next season. So if we bottom out we get higher picks again.

That's smart. Phaneuf for Nash, wooo. That's going to help us keep the puck out of our own zone.

[Topleft11]

I sure hope gardner is not stopping us from getting Nash. Id have swapped Lupol for jack johnson.

[metallicarocks65]

What are you trying to say. That Phaneuf was and is the answer to our D woes...give me a break...heard of Ryan Suter?? or anyother capable tough D man..plenty could do as good if not better...don't think there aren't.

[Maplers]

your going to be disappointed come deadline day when Nash isn't in a TLM jersey. I'm betting he stays in CLB until at least the draft..

[jockdent]

Phaneuf for Nash would be a great trade!

But it's just a dream.

Columbus would never do it.

[ChrisMiss]

I wouldn't trade phaneuf for nash. But I would definitely be shopping him around to see if I can pry away an elite d-man. I consider Phaneuf an elite 2nd pairing D man.

[metallicarocks65]

Nope. never disappointed and always prepared to hear otherwise. Just because it's what I want..isn't necessarily going to happen. So, for many years it's just a small insignificant blip in my life...but it sure would be sweet..for me anyway...I would gladly say I was damn wrong if it was a terrible decision....I like to go against the grain...when every one else expects what they believe to be "logical"

[trysten2]

Than get use too having a lousy team that can't even make the darn playoff's. Because this has gone on since 2004 so we started a new record now it has been since 67 we last won cup. And now our new record is we haven't made playoffs since 2004 and counting.
