I was hoping the'd give more. Good deal for Boston

Very good deal for NYR, hoping Montreal deals Pacioretty even more now

Solid return. I've said it a week ago that Nash would get 1st + and I got laughed at by pretty much every fan base (especially Jets fans).

 

[3rdLiner]

Honestly, not bad.. Lindgren isn't really on top of anyone's asset list on the Boston forums. Should be a low first so I guess good deal. Nash has to have 50% retained though otherwise boston has to make roster moves to make the cap work.

Need to see the "other elements".

Lindgren has been pretty meh the past two years in the NCAA.

If Boston manages to get rid of a contract, or is only paying half of Nash’s salary, that’s pretty damn good for the Rangers

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.

Of course, but a 1st + a prospect who played well in the WJC is a very solid basis. Can't wait to see what are the other pieces.

Oh i agree.

How so? The Prospect is a B level prospect. The 1st will probably be in the 25-30ish range. The Bruins are loaded with prospects and can afford to deal a 1st this year.

Deadline frenzy.

I imagine they will be related to fitting in the cap.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

So BOS got Nash so NSH is actually standing pat. I'm expecting Poile to add Fisher and Tolvanen.
Seemingly he tried to run up the prices.

 

[Habsawce]

Hoping Montreal is involved in some sort of fashion to take cap back for a pick.

 

[Baksfamous112]

Oh i agree.

Makes you wonder what the ask for guys like McDonagh & Pacioretty are. My bet is it's pretty steep. I'm also interested to know what's going to be the return on E. Kane now. My bet is a 1st + as well.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

What's wrong with 1st + okay prospect. Seems standard to me, looks decent for the Bruins and a few build pieces for NY.

Someone doesn't always have to lose

Ya...retention or cap dump probably. Decent deal for both in my opinion.

 

[tradenashnow]

Lindgren is a very good prospect. Reason fans are meh'ing him is because he quietly does his job. He's smart. Doesn't make many mistakes. He's a excellent defensive defenseman. However, as we know on HF, if you don't put up points you stink. First round pick is a great pickup as well. If they get more than that is a fabulous deal for NY

 

[Wats]

How did Nash fetch a first, impressed with Rangers GM.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

Wow!

Great for NYR

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

how far away is Boston from New York?

This isn't the Rick Nash of 3 or 4 years ago. He's not even on pace to break 40 points this season.
