TRADE: Rick Nash to Rangers for Anisimov, Dubinsky, Erixon, 1st rd pick

[Vadered]

Tortorella refused to comment on the details of the deal, but as a Flyers fan I can't help but feel terrified that he did so by smiling, looking the reporter in the eye, and politely apologizing for not being able to break the news.

 

[dash]

I have tremendous schadenfreude over Erixon ending up in Columbus...

 

[SLY]

Rick Nash and Grit do not really go for me. plus they lost more grit this off season I believe. they will be skilled but it depends on how Torts coaches him

Yea, after more thinking... Rags are fucking dumb. They were set up well last year. This may be a little bit too much of a stirrup. Nash is damn good, but a tad overrated. We'll see.

Is it possible that both teams took a step back in this trade? I think so.

i dont think it makes the Rangers better. more skilled now but not better. not sure how this affects columbus but they have a lot of no names in a city that barely knows their current names. we know them but that teams fan base may not have a clue

Well it's about time Columbus got a center to play with Rick Nash.

Columbus is run like shit. They couldn't build a team to save their life.

TSN has Dubinsky, Anisimov, Erixon and 1st to #CBJ. Told #CBJ are sending a 3rd-round pick and a minor-league defenseman to the Rangers.

I think he's overrated in Columbus. To me, he's one of the top-10 forwards in the league because of the tools that he has in the offensive zone. He's a big body that can score, that's not too common.

However, he's not going to win the Art Ross or Richard, even though he's paid like it.

And, after months of dithering, Blue Jackets make a crap deal for Nash. Go for volume rather than quality. Dumb.

Chris Botta ‏@ChrisBottaNHL
Well, now we understand why the Blue Jackets held out. They uh...um...

 

[puckhead]

if Tim Erixon winds up in Columbus...That's hockey karma for Timmy.

bwa-ha-hah-ah-ha. *breathe* ha-ha-ha.
and I hope CGY kicks the shit out of him every single time they meet.

If these names are right this is a disaster for cbj.

I guess he knows disaster. ...

He's just angling to get re-hired for the position.

But he is right, no matter how many warm bodies you got in return that you can slot into your lineup, that sure seems like the poo-poo platter deluxe.

 

[DChero]

That third line looks solid.

its like howson just settled. they are GOOD players but that is NOT what I would have thought would have come back for Nash.
