Confirmed with Link: Nash (50% ret.) to Boston for Spooner + Lindgren + Beleskey (50% ret.) + 2018 1st + 2019 7th

[aufheben]

RIC. NASH , RIL. NASH lol

This makes the most sense. Ric. NASH is kind of weird though because it's almost his entire first name lol

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

My first thought, a couple of pages back, was Boston's nameplate conundrum haha

Nash? Meh
R. Nash? Nope
Ri. Nash? Almost
Ric. Nash and Ril. Nash? I hope so

This is a nice one to read about. I'm surprised, but only because of how good it is. A center just hitting his stride and having proven himself. That's amazingly good. Team's complexion changes for real now.
The cherry on top is that Nash is in Boston and not Tampa Bay.

Alberta Nash and Ontario Nash

I considered this too haha

I haven't read all 16 pages, but the trade obviously revolves around if you even keep Spooner or not. And then if you do, what position he plays.

Spooner has hands down, no doubt about it, been the most frustrating Bruins prospect in recent memory. For those of you old enough, he's been a lot like Kovalev was. Brilliant offensive player, extremely questionable work ethic, very little desire to get dirty, and middling hockey IQ. When he's great you think WOW. When he's bad you want to pull your hair out. Last playoffs he was bad enough the coach had to healthy scratch him along with Hayes and Beleskey. So you can see why some Bruins fans aren't that broken up about seeing him go.

Btw for sure you want to dress him on the wing if you dress him at all (ie don't trade him). At C he's going to be totally overmatched and his defensive zone starts will need to be kept at a minimum.

I'm hoping the first rounder is the last in the round

I considered this too haha

or by position:

W. Nash
C. Nash

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

I figure they will let Rick have "Nash" and give Riley "R. Nash"

Similar to John and Dom Moore.

1st great. Spooner seems to be great. The rest is from "ok" to "meh". For 3 months of Rick Nash. Good deal.

Now fast forward to the draft pls

Why are we skipping over McD, MZA and DD trades?

 

[Beacon]

Very interesting since Spooner is arguably a better offensive talent than Nash at this point anyways. Higher PPG in the last 3 seasons than him.

Lol is Boston drunk? Why did they throw in Spooner . . . ?

He's soft, inconsistent and doesn't do much outside of points. 61.62% of his shift starts this year were in the offensive third of the ice. The Bees wouldn't be throwing a first and a legit prospect on top of a .64 guy who just turned 26 years old if he had anything resembling Nash's all-around game. But he's a warm body who can add offense when we have nothing going with all the guys getting dumped. That said, I wonder if someone would take him for some futures.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Except Hank.

But yes.

No, he said everyone is available.

He said this during an interview with Gianone a few days ago.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Why are we skipping over McD, MZA and DD trades?

I stated already that I'd like to keep Zucc and McD. The DD trade couldn't be less interesting. I want to see the draft!

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

No, he said everyone is available.

He said this during an interview with Gianone a few days ago.

I'm pretty sure elsewhere he said the same thing but qualified it with regard to Hank.

Regardless, Hank himself said it to Gianone this morning, and he has a full NMC for all years of his contract, so...

An absolute grand slam by gorts

Upper deck. No doubter.

 

[Leetch3]

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

It occurs to me that we got almost as much in value back for Rick Nash as a 33 year old rental as we paid for him at age 28 coming off 5-straight 30 goal seasons.

Erixon-Lindgren
Anisimov-Spooner
1st-1st

The only difference is Dubinsky, and we got a 7th instead of a 3rd rounder back.

There was also a throw in 3rd round pick in the first Nash trade that is now our best forward.

 

[darko]

or by position:

W. Nash
C. Nash

But what if C Nash moves to wing?

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Who were Nash's linemates for this season? What line was he on?

He played all over the lineup. His most successful stint was with Zibanejad and Buchnevich. Put him with a playmaker.

 

[Beacon]

I stated already that I'd like to keep Zucc and McD.

 

[McD37]

He really could not get better prospect than Lindgren? Like, I do not know much about him, but Rangers have a ton of defensive prospects, why add another? Lindgren does not really look anything special.

He did, it's Ryan Spooner. Obviously not a kid but he's young. Lindgren and the 7ths are basically throw in's.
