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

[Liferleafer]

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.

As much as i'm against moving JVR....i would consider it....

Nash has been told he's been traded, per Dreger.

 

[Dzonna]

As a leaf fan I don’t want Boston to get any better haha, but I’m glad Nash is leaving rangers. Good trade

 

[1021huss]

If we throw in Carlo and something else can we add McDonagh

 

[Canadian Jesus]

Nash has been awful this year, Boston overpays big time

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

The Panthers should've traded Bjugstad to Boston if 40pt winger gets you a 1st round pick 'n then some.

 

[Lays]

Lol at everyone saying Nash doesn’t fetch this
Lindgren is real good I’d be extremely happy with this. Don’t the Bruins have 9 D? I think McQuaid will be tossed in and he’s a healthy scratch tonight

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Was going to propose that Vegas trades Nash for Gusev.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Pretty standard return for a guy like Nash.

Sekera got a higher 1st (was 21st pick) and McKeown (prior 2nd round pick), Staal got two 2nds and Saarela.

A late 1st and a decent prospect is about what I would have expected as far as the main part of the deal goes. Will see what the other elements are though. Good move for both teams.

And now the Nash brothers finally get to play together.

Nash has rarely done anything noticeable in the playoffs.

Great deal Rangers.

 

[Pens x]

Your move, Tampa.

 

[Lays]

Nash is getting underrated here

Stand pat. You guys have a good thing going right now. You never know, you guys could stay red hot and make a run. Worse case scenario, your young guys will get a little bit of playoff experience and that cannot be bought with draft picks. Consider JVR to be your in-house rental.

Lindgren is a good player so this is a tiny bit of a bummer, would have liked to see what he could do in the spoked B, but you have to like Sweeney going for a big fish in a year the Bruins could actually win a cup with the main core not getting any younger...

Your move, Tampa.

Is Rick Nash really a move you have to retaliate against? He's got 28 points. It's not 2009 anymore. A player like Zach Hyman produces way more on ES without any PP time.

Both Leaf "rentals" JvR and Bozak have better possession numbers and ~20 more points than Nash over the last two years.

It's not 2009 anymore. Rick Nash is a third line winger.

 

[GregSirico]

how far away is Boston from New York?

200 miles

 

[clunk]

I thought picks are coveted and aren't being traded?

 

[PrisonMike]

Huge overpayment for a rental who disappears in the playoffs

 

[3rdLiner]

If we throw in Carlo and something else can we add McDonagh

Money wont work, but yes please...

 

[Sam Spade]

Wait until Monday, PLEASE!!!!

 

[Lays]

Gorton is a great GM

 

[zeke]

honestly think Holden was a better pickup.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

200 miles

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

 

[Zybalto]

Gonna have to put full names on the jerseys for the two Nashs on Boston now.
