timberz21 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Complete that with Luongo for Lecavalier. 2 huge contracts. Sedin-Sedin-Burrows Booth-Vinny-Nash That's two 1st line. However, cap wise probably doesn't work. Ballard would have to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topbananas Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 you think we would get nash for kesler and a 2nd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bissonnette Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Kesler is worth more than Nash. Similar point totals while wayy better defensively, also 2.8 mill cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Nash is too expensive. There are only a few players I'd be willing to spend 7.8 million of our cap on (Malkin, Crosby, Weber...), and Nash is definitely not in that category. I certainly wouldn't want to give up key players like Kesler in order to acquire that contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edlerberry Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Dont you remember what Columbus wants? PROVEN PROSPECTS AND ROSTER PLAYERS. Okay, so Kesler is a superstar, he is great on faceoffs and is great in PK and PP and can "guzzle" up minutes. He's also $2.8m cheaper than Nash. So those are all plusses that make him worth more, right? But for Columbus, they could give a about the cap-hit right now. They need a center, yes, but they'd rather a younger prospect. Weren't they asking for an NHL ready Top prospect, a high end roster player, an ahl prospect AND at least a 1st. Even if Kesler counts as high end roster player + AHL prospect, a 2nd, and no top prospect wouldn't cut it. Apparently SJS put packages together with 1sts and marleau and a prospect, and they countered by asking for couture too. Kesler doesn't make up for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
