Could Maple Leafs add Nash AND Carter?

It would be the biggest trade of the year: Rick Nash and Jeff Carter to Toronto for Tim Connolly, Mike Komisarek, Colby Armstrong, Korbinian Holzer, Jesse Blacker plus a 1st rounder and a 2nd rounder. Colborne gets callup to join Nash and Carter as three additions for Leafs playoff drive.

Some may see it as one-sided toward the Leafs, however the contracts they send to Columbus are a LOT shorter than the ones they are taking on, so the Blue Jackets will have plenty of room to sign their own RFAs in coming years and still play in the free agent market (while still getting the four youngsters they seek in Holzer, Blacker and two picks). Toronto is one of the few teams with the financial strength that would allow them to take on both Carter and Nash.
