Confirmed Trade: [NYR/BOS] Rick Nash (50% ret.) for Lindgren, Spooner, Beleskey (50% ret.), 2018 1st, 2019 7th

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Whether Nash previously struggled in the playoffs is kind of irrelevant. He's another talent that will make it tougher for other teams to match up against Boston.

poor riley nash

Oh ok.. Good for the Nash family then.. Not like he is moving really far away. Works out well

That's what.. a $350 uber bill?

Waiting to see other pieces, at the moment an over payment for Nash. Let's see if Bruins throw in cap dump or something else.

Good! Now Boston is out of the McDonagh sweepstakes...

 

[lordstanley91]

Nash has been awful this year, Boston overpays big time

Lol yea it’s an over payment for sure. Nash hasn’t been worth a 1st + anything for 3 years.

 

[CupsOverCash]

Tampa’s move

 

[A1LeafNation]

Is it still 2008....Nash gets a first??

The Bruins should acquire Gudbranson.

 

[trellaine201]

Nash has been awful because he’s 100 yrs old and played tonnes of hockey over the years. Total overpayment.

Gorton is a great GM

Yeah that’s a really good haul for Nash.

Sometimes brand name matters. Grabner gets less despite being tied with guys like Tarasenko and Kucherov for ES goals. Crazy.

 

[sansabri]

That's one hell of a haul for Nash. Damn.

Well done, Rangers.

 

[DJB]

East is loading up!!!!

Vegas probably involved to launder some cap space, to keep Nash away from the big, bad Jets or other Western rivals.

I don’t get why people get shocked when top 9 forwards are traded for 1st round picks. Always been the going rate, especially for teams who truly believe they’ve got a chance to win.

 

[TheBluePenguin]

I can't believe a GM was stupid enough to not only pay a 1st for Nash, but add a prospect as well. Awful deal for the Bruins.

Wouldn't have to pay that cost if NY wasn't retaining 50%

Not the Ranger I wanted but he has size and can score and is a good 2 way guy. Something the Bruins needed and maybe he gets Krejci going. Lindgren is a bit under sized but a steady deeman. Bruins have so many dee prospects, they cannot all play. The Bruins are one of the teams that could make a run and last year they relied on the 10th deep deeman vs the Sens. Adding pieces is the way to go. The pick will be a late 1st in the 28 range so you have to give to get, look at Sekera. This and maybe give Donato a shot could give them what they are lacking, speed, scoring and size. Half the cap hit retained makes the deal pretty decent both ways, maybe McQuaid goes the other way

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Spooners involved in the deal

Want to know what the "more elements" is here.

Total TDL Price.
