If there are teams seriously willing to give up a 1st round pick for Talbot you take that. He will not be a starter here. He doesn't have 1st round value as a back-up. He may to other teams, but not in NY.

Kessel would accept a trade to the Rangers. Interesting, but as the article says, probably not going to happen. The only way it works is if Nash is included in the trade and most likely Toronto is trying to rebuild so wants prospects and picks.
Nash > Kessel ainec
Take English lessons bro
Could they fit him in if they moved Staal/Girardi + Hagelin and replaced them with young players?
Nash-Brassard-MZA
Kreider-Stepan-Kessel
Miller-Hayes-Fast
Lindberg-Moore-_____
McDonagh-Boyle
Yandle-Girardi
______-Klein
McIlrath
Not sure what you don't get ? Jonus gustavsson the Detroit goalie is ufa. The wild goalie Gustafson went overseas . So if talbot is dealt for picks he's an option still. Gonna guess they go w a swede but maybe fasth . When the higher paid goalies fall the others will scramble and take less. 900 k for a back up

Kessel is a better offensive player than Nash because he's a better playmaker.
Nash is obviously the better defensive player
On the other hand, Kessel does have 21 points in 22 playoff games, including 13 goals. The Rangers, IMO, could suffer the loss of Nash's defensive game without taking much of a hit. You make that kind of trade if you're looking to shake things up a little bit without totally changing the structure of the team.
We're gonna get Kessel aren't we?
Could be worse. We could be getting Doan
This team would need to be absolutely dismantled after 15/16. This would take our window from 3 years to 1 real quick.
Bolded RFA/UFAs of 2016 off-season in this lineup above, assuming 15 RFAs in this lineup are signed to two-year bridge deals.
It really only makes sense if we overpay for Kessel so the Leafs will send him to us @50%. That, or Nash goes in the deal, which makes trading for Kessel in the first place rather pointless (for lack of a better word).
Staal
Hagelin
16 OA (from EDM for Talbot)

Kessel @ 50%
I don't know if I'd do that.
I don't see Nash accepting a deal to Buffalo, but guess you never know...

I have this great idea guys. What if like we kept Nash. Has anyone thought of this yet?

Ennis + Zadorov is what I'd look for.
