Nash will not cost even 1.3 million by the time he signs with a team.Regarding the cap. Leafs don't have much to spare this season. In order to be pay all their bonus performance this year....Horton and his 5.3m has to included on the roster. So a signed Nylander has the Leafs with about 1.3m in real cap space this year.
In previous years, the Leafs delayed paying their bonus, but this year they really can't do it with big RFA signings next year.

I think he is serviceable in the NHL, but if the Leafs are truly a cup contender, I don't think they'd have room for him. He had brief flashes of great play on the Bruins, but largely inconsistent. He is now a sabbatical and head injury removed from that play. I just unfortunately don't see him being able to help a contender sadly. Toronto would be better served getting some better stay at home Dmen to round out their roster.
**** 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.
I disagree. Having Nash on our 3rd means one of Hyman, Brown or Kap get demoted to the 4th. Quite frankly I like all of those players much more than Nash at this point.We need some size and having Nash on the third line wouldn’t hurt
I disagree.
Providing adding him doesn't hurt the Leafs chances of upgrading their D at the deadline, he'd be a great add. He's not a prolific scorer but his defense is still good and he's a clear upgrade over Leivo/Johnsson/Ennis.
Besides, the Leafs are probably going to add some expiring deals because of their surplus of cap this year.
He doesn't need a league minimum contract if it's a 1 year deal. The Leafs are flush with cap this year.Do we even know if Nash would be willing to play 4th line minutes? In terms of those 3, the only player I would choose Nash over is Ennis. The other 2 need time to prove themselves and the Leafs need to give them an opportunity.
Unless he is willing to sign for the league minimum and is fine being scratched for players that are playing better than him, I suppose I would be ok with it.

And I'm sure he knows he's not sliding into the top-6 when he looks at the Leafs roster.
I'd be ok with it.
Marleau - Matthews - Nylander
Hyman - Tavares - Marner
Nash - Kadri - Kapanen
NYI claimed Nabokov to block Detroit.
No matter how many teams are involved, only 50% of the cap hit can be retained, so at best Gagner comes at 1.575m.

What, sniping Martin and Komarov isn’t enough for you?Came here to say this. It would be hilarious is Nash signed with Toronto, but the Islanders claimed him off waivers.
Not how the 2013 cba worksssssssCame here to say this. It would be hilarious is Nash signed with Toronto, but the Islanders claimed him off waivers.
Nash literally does everything better then brown why would anyone play brown over nash?
Nash is bigger, faster, stronger, more skilled, better defensively and has more offense. He's better in pretty much every way other then being older. Babs would take one look at him and his 6'4 height and get a *****.
