IMO, The offer will have to have a proven top player(ie Kessel), top defencemen or top prospect(ie Gardiner, Reilly, etc) + a first rounder, a prospect (ie Kadri, Colborne, Ashton) and a roster player (ie MacArthur, Bozak, Kulimen). At this point it will take a significant offer to land Nash who ultimately decides where he will go. The price may go down as time goes on and the season draws near, but right now, I just don’t think what you offered is enough.

To toronto:
Rick Nash
Conditional 7th round pick (if he plays less than 60 games)
Conditional 6th round pick (if he gets less than 65 points)
To Columbus:
the right to RFA Cody Franson
Matt Frattin
Carl Gunnarson
Kenny Ryan
Next years 1st round pick
Conditional 3rd in 2 year (if less than two of those players are not playing in the NHL.
I think this would be a good move for both sides columbus gets solid temporary defenceman intell young defence like Ryan Murray get in the NHL. They get potental lodded wingers Kenny and Matt and always good to have picks. Toronto gets a big winger who is bouned to deliver in a new seting and a little insurance that he plays a solid amount of games. Thx for your time comment your opinions!!!

He has not mortgaged the future to try a quick rebuild, but has stocked some good assets from a cupboards bare situation.
That said, I do feel a big trade is coming that may use one or some of those assets for an immediate need.
Since the assets now exist and can bring immediate help, the timing is appropriate.

They don’t seem to realize that Burke stopped playing the “quick rebuild” about two years ago and is now looking to build a strong team with strong assets, all while being young.

Granted I’ll give them that Burke’s propensity to say the they will make the playoffs, and do a rebuild on the fly didn’t really help him out.

His playoff stats are pretty good and he will fill-out, so I’m not worried about that. I know a lot of guys love Kessel and that’s fine, I don’t hate him, I also don’t believe he is the guy to build around. He is a good support guy if all the pieces are in place…size, power, goaltending, solid D etc. to surround him with. I see more upside in Kane.

So if you want to outbid us with that go right ahead…

He was a difference maker don’t believe me see where our PP was when he was not out with a concussion.
