Nash needs to get healthy regardless of where he plays
It just happened the leafs were mentioned

"that chick from Ohio"
Yep, because there certainly aren't any other top quality teams out there he's been connected to. Just the Leafs.
Incidentally, what city is he recuperating in right now - y'know, the one he referred to as "the city that I love" in a recent Athletic article?
Was he ever a star? He hasn't been a PPG player for 10 years. Only scored 40 or more 2 times with 42 being the highest. He has a whole career field with 30 and 20 goal seasons. I say no thanks.

I mean I'm not going to trash on the type of player he used to be. That being said bringing in Nash relegate Kappy, Brownie or Hyman to the 4th line. To be honest I think all of those players are better than Nash is right now in various ways.
What exactly is “Bruins gave up so much for him” , they gave quantities but certainly not quality.
I never, ever get tired of this gif.
It always makes me laugh.
As for Nash, I wish him well, but I have no interest in him, even for 1 season.

They basically gave up a 1st and 2 2nds for him. The pick, Lindgren(2nd round pick), and Spooner, who probably has the trade value of a 2nd round pick or so (maybe more).
That's quantity and quality, considering how valuable top 60 picks are these days.
Spooner will never get a second rounder, never! Lindgren will probably develope into a 4-6 dman, Bruins have lots of those, so in reality the Bruins didn’t give up much to get not much.

Yeah there were lots of people who were questioning that trade even some Bruins fans. I certainly don't believe the return was worth it.
If Nash weren't getting paid like a mega star most of his career there would have been more acceptance. I think if he took a really low deal, where he could slot in on a third line, he would actually be better. He's still good defensively and a monster when he takes the puck to the net. If he weren't going against top pairs every night, I think he could make a lot of defenses look silly.
You do realize that Sam Gagner was more productive than Nash over the last two seasons, don't you... Add to this the fact that Nash is older and comes from a concussion, he can probably add some depth to the Marlies...
No matter how many teams are involved, only 50% of the cap hit can be retained, so at best Gagner comes at 1.575m.

Well apparently his concussion symptoms still aren't gone months later, so who knows how long he'd last if he even tries to come back
How is Gagner gonna be reduced to 750k? I don't think you understand how retention in trade works.
