Personally, I'd rather see Getzlaf as I believe he is a better all-round player. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Getzlaf is a much better skater and with the speed of the current game in general and the uptempo pace of the Leafs game in particular he would be a better fit. I also get the impression Nash is more one dimensional, i.e. all offense. I'd probably also take Ryan over Nash.which R do you prefer, Ryan or Rick ? I'll take Rick only for being a younger player and should fit wonderfully in the current lineup along with coach (R)on. (R)ight !!
hmmm your last name wouldn't happen to be Burke is it? lolI told ya! Nash is on his way to Toronto at trade deadline. I have the insight.
bitch, pleaseI told ya! Nash is on his way to Toronto at trade deadline. I have the insight.
ain't gonna happen.....Why wouldn't it happen? Nash feeding Kessel and Lupul would be one the deadliest lines in the NHL.
Nash commands a high salary and Columbus cannot keep up with the market. Nash would be nuts to reject a large commerical market in Toronto. It's all about money in the game of hockey.
There are several factors preventing this from happening, none of which cannot be fixed I will admit.Why wouldn't it happen? Nash feeding Kessel and Lupul would be one the deadliest lines in the NHL.

Would you trade Nash for Kessel put an American Hockey star in the U.S and put a Canadian hockey star back in Canada . I don't follow Hockey but just a suggestion .There are several factors preventing this from happening, none of which cannot be fixed I will admit.
First, his salary would not be easy to fit under the Leafs cap, especially during the season. Columbus will want to reduce their cap so will not take large salary back. They would be looking for young, cheap players or draft picks. Second, as far as the Leafs go it is likely another team can give more back to the Jackets then what Toronto can offer(but, yes there is that affordability thing. The Leafs CAN afford him).
Third, Columbus is hosting the All-Star game next season.
I have a stance where I do prefer Canadian players for the Leafs, especially a guy like Nash who is from the GTA and was a Leaf fan as a kid. However, it sometimes happens that I come to like the foreign players on the Leafs and Kessel is one of those.Would you trade Nash for Kessel put an American Hockey star in the U.S and put a Canadian hockey star back in Canada .

Ryan Getzlaf -born May 10, 1985Ironboy, which R do you prefer, Ryan or Rick ? I'll take Rick only for being a younger player and should fit wonderfully in the current lineup along with coach (R)on. (R)ight !!
remember him saying that of Versteeg.No deal. Burke said that he is not trading Kulemin or MacCarthur.
Rick Nash is NOT a center, he's a winger, and getting the overrated Nash wouldn't solve the Leafs needs!The way the Leafs are playing any trade will do and next time do not give a raise to Wilson during the regular season until he reaches the playoffs.
NASH...the #1 center man.
He's got the size and offensive talent but I don't think he has the grit they need.Rick Nash is NOT a center, he's a winger, and getting the overrated Nash wouldn't solve the Leafs needs!
