Rangers Want Nash

PrintTake this report from ESPN Insider for what it's worth but it does bring up an interesting question. How much is too much for a 27 year old superstar in his prime?
A few days ago, the Columbus Dispatch's Shawn Mitchell left open the possibility that some Columbus Blue Jackets veterans, including Rick Nash, could still be traded at the deadline. But Nash -- who has a no-movement clause -- is apparently staying put.TrueHockey.com's Andy Strickland talked with "sources close to the player" who continue to tell him that Nash isn't leaving Columbus, which indicates that Nash isn't looking to waive his no-movement clause to start over in another city.
However, the Ottawa Sun's Bruce Garrioch is still hearing some buzz about Nash on the rumor mill. Apparently the New York Rangers are interested in Nash, and he's hearing that the Jackets would want Brandon Dubinsky, Chris Kreider and a No. 1 pick in return. It still doesn't seem like enough -- and it still sounds unlikely -- but perhaps that's why Jackets GM Scott Howson was at the Rangers game last night.
At first glance I thought this "potential" deal sounded like waaaay too much contrary to the reports take that it was the exact opposite. After thinking about it, It only costs the Rangers one player from the current roster albeit an underachieving one in Dubinsky. I love Dubinsky and think his style of play epitomizes the Rangers persona so I'd be leery of messing with that. However, they do need a secondary scorer and Nash is definitely that and could fit in real nicely with Richards. I'd hate to lose Kreider but think in the interest of winning a cup, this deal makes sense assuming Nash can play Torts' style. The fact that Nash is 27 makes it a lot easier to swallow too. Your thoughts?

Won’t happen this way, because I know Sather doesn’t want to lose Krieder. He’d sooner lose a second 1st rounder, a prospect like St. Croix, players like Wolski and Zucc, and would add an additional player like Feds (if necessary) to make it happen.

The problem isn’t giving up too much, because that is definitely a price I would pay.
The problem is Nash’s contract. His production is nowhere near worth 7.8 million a year. That’s what the problem is here. His cap hit is a crippling liability.

I don’t like the idea of adding that cap hit either. But, I do think at his best, he is worth that kind of money. I think playing for a better team such as the Rangers, would get him playing up to his abilities. Tough to play in Columbus with no one to work with and being the focal point of every teams defense every night. Wouldn’t have that problem in NY.
Prospal has no problem putting up points in CBJ. Maybe that excuse doesn’t hold much weight?
If anything when he comes here he’ll get less shots and produce less.

Nash is overrated. He had just one season were he had more than a point per game. Gabby had four in a row in Minnesota who was an average team at the most.
Exactly. He’s a very good player, but not a $7.8 million player.

We cannot trade Kreider. He may be way overhyped here, but maybe he isn’t…. we’d be kicking ourselves if he pans out into something special, on another team.
Fuck Nash, Get Carter, if anything.
what is your reasoning

$2.6m less per year doesn’t seem worse to me. $5.2m for a 35 goal scorer seems pretty damn reasonable, in fact. Attractive even. If you are worried about contract length, let me introduce you to a wizard named Glen Sather, a man not afraid of burying long contracts. Also this was a front loaded contract so the final several years drop a lot.

Absolutely.
The contract is much better production wise.

7.8 wayyy too much.
Him, gabs, Brich, and Hank would combine for what, over 25 mil a year? We’re gonna need to resign our young d-men soon and theyre the cornerstone of this team. Plus Kreider is the top prospect, anyone but him please.

I’d like to keep Kreider but he isn’t gonna help them win a cup this year. Nash could. Not just for this year but for the foreseeable future too. I’m just playing devils advocate here and am not convinced either way. It’s just tough to discount Nash’s size and ability. We know what he is, where we don’t what Kreider is or will be at the NHL level. I have a tough time hanging on to prospects for the “future” when they are close to winning a cup NOW. And this doesn’t kill the teams future, it’s still a young, mostly home grown team after this trade with more youth to come form the minors.
if they ate some of Nash's salary, maybe
but I’d rather Sather pick up a vet D-man or a complementary winger rather than something that would cost the farm and our cap
"Fantasy, reality, science Fiction. Which is which? Who can tell?"
And…in all seriousness, if that is what it takes to get Nash…Carter should be available for absolute PEANUTS. PEANUTS.
I'd prefer Carter as well

The amount we’re giving up is fair, it’s just that contract. I don’t want it.

I understand but he’s one of the best in the game and when you have an opportunity to get an allstar player you do your due diligence and see if it makes sense.
Well what do you consider best in the game?
It’s a cap world. The best players are those who perform above their contract. Nash will perform below his. It doesn’t matter how good anyone is, if they are making too much they aren’t helping the team.

Nash has great talent. you can’t knock him off the puck did you see the way he played in the Olympics when he had talented players around him? he was a monster. that’s the player you would be getting if he came here. Nash is withering away in Columbus with nothing to play for. I know he gets paid big $$ and he tries but he’s all by himself practically. he’s like -20, that’s the team, not him.
I’m not bringing up his +/- for a reason. The team is terrible. But you know what, on that same terrible team Prospal is dominating, and on a terrible team in Minnesota Gaborik broke 40.
On a better team he might produce more, or he might produce less given less ice time and less shots. My point is that he has broken 70 points ONCE. Even if he comes here and produces to the best of his ability, he still isn’t worth his contract.

LET'S GO RANGERS!!!
Does Prospal play on Nash’ line? His prosperity might be a case of teams keying in on Nash and freeing up space for Vinny. Prospal was a decent player here but he never dominated anything as a Ranger.
Absolute Worst Ranger Fan!!!!!!....yet incredibly realistic and usually correct.
Prospal played on Gaborik’s line and that didn’t cause Prospal to dominate on the same level as Gaborik, and I’m sure teams key in on Gaborik as much as they do on Nash, maybe more so.
That’s my point. Prospal is a solid guy, and a great team player, but he’s no all-star. If he can dominate this strongly in CBJ (moreso than he did here), there’s no reason Nash shouldn’t be able to as well.
Not saying Nash is bad by any means, and I’m not saying Prospal is better than him. What I am saying is that even if he plays his best hockey, he’s not worth that contract. Add onto that what we have to give up for him, and I just don’t see it as an improvement to the team.

No Thank You
Honestly, I dont mind moving Dubi if the price is right, but no way should we include Krieder in ANY deal. And I do NOT want Nash.
his contract might not be a huge crutch if an amnesty clause is included in the next CBA. I still wouldnt give up dubi and kreider for him though
I think other things would be amnestied first…and it’s manageable now, but in a couple years when we have a lot of RFAs needing new contracts and guys like Cally/Gabby/Hank up for new contracts…that 8m is going to tighten things up a bit. Plus, there’s not even close to any guarantee he plays up to that contract (he sure isn’t/hasn’t).
other than richards there would be no other amnesty candidates. they can amnesty nash if the team wont be able to sign all their RFAs

If Cally keeps it up he’s going to get 6 mil a year.

I mean even people who aren’t connected to the Rangers think this kid is going to be something special. Somebody on NBCSN said during the BC intermission that once his season ends theres a good chance he will sign a contract and even play with the big club this year. even thought I wouldn’t necessarily want that, Krieder is probably gonna be a star for this team in the near future.

I hope a trade isnt made for either of these players to be honest. I really like the team we have now and just dont see an absolute need to make a move but maybe its just my loyalty and connection to who we have currently.

It would be an absolute steal if we didn’t have to give up a roster player or Kreider, and would really benefit this team in the playoffs.
That would give us a load of depth in the top-3 lines.
Hags-Step-Gab
Cart-Rich-Call
Dubi-AA-Mitchell
Rupp-Boyle-Prust
If that report they want Dubi/Kreider/#1 for Nash (franchise player/only significant player in their history)…the price for a guy who wants out, who they want to trade, when other teams aren’t looking at him for whatever reason…should be able to do it for the 1st and a couple of lower-prospects like Thomas/Croix/JAM/Bourque, maybe another pick.
Yeah. I’d like to avoid Nash, but I’d be interested in Carter at the right price. What worries me is come playoff time, a guy like Carter will go MIA and we will miss the presence of Dubi.
I doubt we get Carter without giving up Dubi. Now what goes other than Dubi? Maybe MZA and a 2nd or something? If it’s not too much I’d do it.
Also, I like this 7dman set-up. Maybe’s its something they stick with?

They’re getting Nash. With this much of a push, and the Jackets’ GM in town, this is getting done. Do not be surprised to see a multi-player trade…as I have a feeling (no source, this is just my own guess) that a player like Rupp may be included.
That 3 or 4 minutes he played, made me think he might not be long for this playoff push. John Mitchell has clearly surpassed him on the depth chart, and Brandon Prust is a much better penalty killer. Rupp has chipped in time goals and has hit and fought all comers. But Mitchell has proven himself, and Prust (The Deacon of Pain) is asserting himself again in time for the playoffs.
But you know what this means…we’ll need another enforcer…

"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
LET'S GO RANGERS!!!
