Leaf Rumours

I'd prefer Spezza over Nash. Don't think it would cost as much and this teams greatest need is a #1 playmaking Center.

Five thirty goal campaigns in eight seasons (one of which he was on pace for thirty and this season in which he is on pace for forty). I don't care that he isn't a good play-maker.

Yea I honestly have never really understood the hype around Nash. I mean to be fair i've hardly ever seen him play but his stats don't really jump off the page at you. I have a feeling if you watched him game in game out he might give you the same feelings Kessel does. We don't need another goal scoring winger we need a big stud center, thats been the case since Mats left.
 
It's not about being in a position to say no to Rick Nash, it's about being in a position to say no to overpaying for a 35-40 goal winger.

Count me in on the Spezza bandwagon though. Way cheaper to acquire, same offensive impact, fills a role we need badly.
 
The way to build this team is the same way to build a stock/business. Build it from the bottom UP. And Burke blew it a bit with the Kessel trade, but he can make up for it by getting rid of the Gunnarsons, Beauchemins, Komisareks, Phaneufs etc.. for second and third rounders. Or even fourth rounders.

And why get Rick Nash. We want to tank next year it seems and its probably a good idea.
 
And Nash is a very good player. Elite in some ways. But he is so big, he may just be finished at 31. Big, bulky guy.
 
Anyone think you could get Doan out of Phoenix... he really isn't the player he once was, but he may be rotting away on Phoenix and out east he may do something else. I think you could get Doan quiete quietly.
 
Its weird, because he was so damn good at the Olympics. He really has the ability to dominate. He just doesn't.

Kind of like Lecavailer. Good player for sure, but for the most part pretty big disappointment.
 
Nash has been on some super shi**y teams in Columbus, He has the ability and i think would flourish when he has pressure put on him.

a Nash - Kadri - Kessel line would be pretty sick.

He plays well when the games mean something........the one year they were good enough to be a playoff team, he played like a monster all season long.
 
Gotta look to filling a glaring hole in our lineup with this debate. It would be nice to have a guy like Nash but Giggles would fit the desire of what we have been crying for.

Would he crack under the pressure of playing for his childhood team?
