Most likely one of the more realistic offers on this board, inb4 the "he's a worthless cap dump" brigade show up.
No, i think since he waived his NMC to go to NYR, it becomes void and can be traded to any team inc mtl.
and again, Nash has a no trade clause to all Canadian teams, so no matter what the proposal, no matter how it would be for either team involved, it just ain't gonna happen.
Really don't think you'll see Nash returning more than Kessel... From Montreal I'd do Emelin + Ghetto + conditional 2nd (based on either Nash or team's performance)
Don't need or want Emelin.
Try Juulsen+2nd.

With the Rangers adding Pirri and Vesey it seems they have a surplus of forwards, plus they have been rumoured for a while to be shopping Nash around. Since they have a pretty complete line-up even without Nash, I will assume that the Rangers would be incline to accept a picks/prospects type of deal, and save some cap space for in-season dealings.
Now as a Habs fan I would be willing to pay a fairly high price for Nash, even given his 7.8M cap hit. For this to happen though, Montreal would likely need to ditch Desharnais and Emelin (yes, both). There might be suitors around the league, but it may not be realistic to think that Bergevin could pull it off. Unless the NYR take on one of them in the Nash deal, which could make sense. So yes in instance this deal is a pretty long shot, but I still wanna put it out there.
My offer:
-MTL 1st round pick 2017 (not lottery protected)
-Your choice of Martin Reway or Arturri Lehkonen
-Your choice of Sven Andrighetto or Daniel Carr
-Possibly one of Desharnais/Emelin

That's not bad value wise at all.
I'll take the 1st, and Reway.
I'll take a contract, or two no problem. One like Desharnais, another like Redmond/Pateryn.
Juulsen.
I'll throw in Fast, and a good pro prospect. Tambo, Fogarty (think Paul Gaustad). With Nash.

That's not a "fairly high price"
That's a dented, scuffed, scratched bargin-basement price for Nash.

A long-term signed Kessel with the Leafs retaining ~1.5 mil, no less.
Habs get reamed.
