Those Old Nash Jerseys are useful again.

 

[Little Psycho]

I read it as Rick Nash. I'm disappointed.

 

[Apathetic]

Seems like a really solid deal.

Hope he wears 61.

Hope he does well there. Really liked him this past season. Can he sustain his performance?

 

[compan]

Great signing if he can sustain his output. I was hoping he wouldn’t sign with the Bruins because I expected him to be overpaid.

This is the same what Calvert got, and how is he as a C?

Decent deal, 41 pts last year...battles with dubi this year, provides insurance for dubi buyout next year

He was pretty good for us this season. Great bottom 6 guy that I think delivered more than expectations. Unfortunately I’m not terribly familiar with Calvert, otherwise I’d love to give you a comparison on if Nash was better/par/worse.

He was absolutely fantastic for Boston last year until he got concussed and struggled in the playoffs (probably because of said concussion). Extremely reliable and can chip in a bit offensively, but he's fantastic defensively. Clear 2nd best defensive forward on Boston after Bergeron.

I though he had an argument for getting over $4 million for sure, great deal.

You had my curiosity, now you have my full attention.

Damn that defence! Nice.

 

[Clode]

Was hoping the Bruins would hold on to him, he's an average player who's never going to wow you with anything but he's smart and can really play anywhere in a line up and not hurt you.

 

[Slyfox]

How the f*** did Riley Nash get less than Jay f***ing Beagle?!?!? He needs to fire his agent.

 

[neelynugs]

he's a really solid player. super vanilla in a good way. strong defensively, pretty decent size, not fastest skater but he gets there.
mitts aren't bad either - underrated skill. good PK guy, can play up and down the lineup, great guy in the room. very fair contract,
bruins will miss him this year when a rookie or backes is centering that 3rd line.

I like this deal for the Jackets.

Good, reliable player. Good term, good hit.

 

[Dumais]

Nice replacement for Calvert...

Now what about Cole, JJ, Vanek? Can't wait till next offseason.

 

[Grandrift145]

How does J Beagle get more term and money than Nash? Nash is better and younger

 

[firstemperor]

The heck, that's one of the best value deals this entire offseason.

 

[A91]

Good signing, one of the better deals of the day

Just make him wear 61 and then sign Rick Nash.
