Fwiw, I think Rick Nash is actually more realistic in terms of homecomings. He's in 2018. The Leafs could very reasonably be good by then, the Rangers aren't a fantastic scenario atm, he's said a lot about loving the Leafs before, and basically said "well, I'll only be 34 when the deal expires" on TSN when asked about the Leafs the week he signed his current deal. He'll also be old enough it'll be more like Roberts/Nieuwendyk than the sorta Stamkos situation. That's the kinda thing I could see happening.
Sorry I cant get the actual tweets on here for some reason... excuse my copy and paste...

I know the Leafs' plan is to target Tavares. This isn't sudoku here, trying to figure out an ending. It's a plan.
thoughts??
If the leafs are trending upward and developing their young players, are they really gonna be keen to supplement them with a 34 year old Rick Nash?![]()
Lol is this guy serious? Pretty sure that he thought it was a done deal that Stamkos would sign with Toronto. And that John Tavares and Connor McDavid will join him there later on.![]()
Actually i was preferring to, Once Snow gets John Tavares locked up next summer with 1 more year left. Then it should cease and assist any more talking of JT to Toronto because we all know that all Toronto born players or Ontario born players want to play for the Leafs.
If Steven Stamkos didn't want to come home and play for Toronto, i think it's infinitely less likely that John Tavares would even consider it. You could see the Stamkos connection to Toronto from multiple different angles. None of that exists with Tavares.
Looks like more of the same BS we heard the same thing with Stamkos and how did that work out.
the same rick nash that has blocked a trade to the leafs...
ok then.
I hope that everyone knows that this guy is just trying to generate clicks and hype. This hasnt even crossed Tavares mind at this point.
Sorry to Isles fans that have to deal with this BS
Considering what burke did when he was fired, i wouldn't be surprised.
What he did was essentially tampering
Please tell me we don't have to hear this for the next few years.
