Asked Bob Mackenzie if it's true about the rumour that "Rick Nash will return to TOR, train with the Marlies, and then play for the Leafs on their stretch drive".

Bob didn't shoot down the rumour, but said that Rick Nash will have to feel healthy and recover from his concussion first.


Who should Nash play with ?

Tavares, Matthews, or Kadri?

Wow the Leafs are deadly...

Not sure if he'd actually help, assuming Nylander comes back and Hyman gets out of the top six then is Nash good enough anymore to actually replace any players in the Leafs top six?

Wasn't very good in the playoffs for Boston imo.

No one hopefully. Nash is not a great player anymore and is certainly not the type of player the Leafs should be looking at.

I thought he was really good in the playoffs. It didn't show on the score sheet, but he was good.

I agree. Definitely looked like he has more to give. I'd give him a look with Kadri.

Marleau-Matthews-Nylander
Hyman-Tavares-Marner
Nash-Kadri-Kapanen
Johnsson-Lindholm-Brown

 

[uncleblazer]

I'd be ok with it.

Marleau - Matthews - Nylander
Hyman - Tavares - Marner
Nash - Kadri - Kapanen

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

Sign Nash, Two 50% retention trades to get Gagner for $750k :

Marleau-Matthews-Kapanen
Hyman-Tavares-Marner
Leivo/Johnsson-Kadri-Nylander
Nash-Gagner-Brown 4th line lol

Defense : Rielly, whoever else.

Nash is basically a good 2-way 3rd liner at this point. Which is why I thought it was so funny that the Bruins gave up so much for him.

I'd stick him with Kadri.

 

[MeowLeafs]

At first I thought this was about Calaiacovo making a comeback

I wonder how this former player would know anything. Like... Mike Commodore....

 

[Breakers]

He's a 3rd liner not a first liner.

 

[Steve]

Never liked Nash and always felt he was overrated. He’s a good skater and a big body so if he’s happy to play with whoever Babcock seems appropriate then I’m good

 

[Foppberg]

Maybe if he transitions to D.

 

[boredmale]

Wouldn't Nash have to go through waivers if he joins the Leafs after Jan 1?

Change "Boston" to "Ever" and you get a more complete assessment of Nash's game.

Wow can you imagine the Leafs adding another 30 points player...

 

[LeafFever]

Leafs are the only team he'll play for. He wants a cup.

Would anyone really want to claim him at this point in his career?

 

[Joel Ward]

I'd be happy to give him a chance in the top 9. Concussions are scary though so I think it is smart of him to take some time off - especially when he likely has another 50+ years ahead of him.

Hyman - Tavares - Marner
Kapanen - Matthews - Nylander
Marleau - Kadri - Nash

Pls

Bottom six player

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

f*** Nash. Didn't want to come when this team needed him and he was in his prime, now he wants to join when he's past his expiration date.

 

[boredmale]

Roster depth

 

[Dustin]

I'd rather give our own bottom 6 the playing time.
