I think the idea was that the Leafs would basically be dumping Mac if there was another deal and/or maybe free up a spot for Kadri? It's not a hockey deal to me but I can understand some of the interest, Clifford is big, young and tough, goes to the net ( at least one of his goals was a pretty sweet shot too ) but to me his skating is a bit suspect and that's not what the Leafs are about these days... same reason Colton couldn't stay up though Clifford seems like a bit better skater than him ( though still top heavy ) but Boyce and more so Crabb have that gear.
Nonis using depth to go shopping....

Consider the source. There's been nothing seriously linking Nash and the Leafs from any real, respected members of the hockey media.

If he didn't come with an almost $8M cap hit and an astronomical acquisition cost, I'd agree, but, at those prices, not so much.

What if CBJ took both Connolly and Komisarek in the deal?

Just imagine what else the Leafs would have to add to make that happen.

Yup. But if CBJ is trading Nash they have to take on some significant money. No other way to make it work.
Likely never both of those guys, but one of them or one like them? Probably.

Nash is going to one of those names that's always in the rumour mill because he's the big fish in a small and, so far, unsuccessful pond. He's also one of those guys that isn't going to be moved any time soon unless he asks to be.

I figured it out!! What needs to happen is Carter AND Nash get traded to the Leafs for Connolly, MacArthur, Kadri and Komisarek. That balances cap-wise this year. Next year $3 MIL would have to come off the books to re-sign Grabovski, Kulemin, Gustavsson, Aulie and Franson.

This is the most lopsided trade in history. You'll need at least Lupul going in that deal plus a first round pick and a few prospects. That is a massive, massive trade for CBJ and the best they can do is our scrap heap? Come on.
Yeah I'm not sure Columbus would take that package for Carter or Nash individually.
