A couple things to consider, forwards generally start scoring less after the age of 27 and Nash was due to be an ufa before he got that big contract so the money he's making is in part due to past performance, Kessel isn't there yet.
Right now Kessel is providing more bang for the buck, I wouldn't trade them one for one.
...and McLean isn't exactly unbiased here so taking his view with a big grain, there are only a couple players from the Leafs I wouldn't trade for him.
