man my experience with nash goes back a bit further.. i remember when he was a scrawney lil blond kid with a poop ton of hype when he came to play for the london knights

he didnt take the knights anywhere then either

so, until he proves he can leada team somewhere playing north american hockey, not olympics, not a euro league.. i will not brand him a good leader
- Dozzer

I really like to guy too...but dont love him. Also dont think hes the right guy for the Leafs. The Leafs need a Getzlaf "type".

Londons market SUCKS right now...

The house was listed at 264,900 without appliances. We were going to offer a conditional at 260,000 with all appliances. Thats how bad it is.

don't offer a penny over 250000 with your first offer.

they arent as great as you think

one olympic gold
one WC gold
three WC silvers
a 5th place finish at the WC
and a seventh place finish at the WC
- Dozzer

Were the two golds early on with stacked teams? Wondering why he picked up the nick name Captain Canada if he's not considered a leader.

So as a 16 and 17 year old he couldn't lead his team in a league full of 18, 19 and 20 year olds. Damning.

Thats what I would offer without the conditional....but no way they accept with the condition...thats why I think were just going to wait it out cause Id rather put in a firm offer and get the place for 255ish.

cuisinart?

And dude, cause your in an apartment, right now is the time to buy a house at low interest and while the market sucks. Theres no competition and its frustrating the hell out of me because I cant put in any solid offers!!
- noename09

i know i know.. but we are still in the mindset that we will buy the shop first when her mom retires in a couple years and use it along with my RRSPs as collateral for a house.

uhhh...wrong guy.

I know if you offer that close to asking they know you will pay full price...but I think he was referring to the fact their must be stiff competition or multiple offers on every new listing.

- stormeyAlterEgo

actually his first year was the only time they made the playoffs

once it became his team the missed the playoffs

I've heard it used for Nash too I thought.

I moved east of Yonge....1400kms east....best move I ever made...bought 9 acre farm for 70K, spent another 5K to convert it into a ranch, and I live like a king at $21/hr

How far do you have to drive for human contact though

don't let your realtor persuade you otherwise, it's a buyers market

certainly the smarter way

Ahh...yes most conditional offers aren't even taken seriously. I know I wouldn't have considered one on the house I just sold.

...maybe by Maclean. He has a man crush.

Nope. His first year he played 4 playoff games and they were done.

When it was "his" team they played 12 and he had 10 goals and 19 points.

- LeafsOwnHabs

exactly.. the only time he has had success in his entire career, dating back to junior, was when he played on teams that already had other established leaders

whenever he has been counted on to be the leader his team finishes near the bottom, regardless of the league he was playing in

Cheers. Thanks guys. Next question. Know anyone looking to hire a guy with low ambition, not too much drive, somewhat reliable and likes surfing the web at work. For around $150,000 a year.

Yeah but he couldnt lead properly and it's all his fault if they never won anything.

It certainly is...but an offer from us without my house selling means nothing. I may at this point (as you've said) even take less on my house so I can get this place cheaper. I may lose 5K or so on the price I wanted because its only listed at 154, but I can get 10-15k off the new place if I act fast.

I've lived both east and West, and essentially they are the same, until you actually get to Scarborough.

South Etobicoke/Old Toronto is an excellent area with relatively easy access to downtown via Lakeshore, Gardner, and Streetcars. Was much more affordable 5 years ago, but for what you get, still not ridiculous and a lot of houses there actually have decent lots.

(Lakeshore and Kipling - further west and south of Lakeshore. Plus you're close to the water!)

Although I haven't priced that area in a couple years, so could be crazy now too...
- Big_Lightnin

Just don't live at Jane and Finch. Finch west of Yonge is REMARKABLY different to Finch east....

The market is poised to fall further next year...

The above is so very true. You have so much more bargaining power over the competition with firm offers. It also let's them know your not messing around as the chance of backing out is much much lower.
