This is laughable. He didn't want to be in Columbus do he requested a trade.
Did he avoid signing an autograph for you once as well?

Wow.

I understand that people may not agree but I do not understand how people think this is bitter or respond with Wow. Is what I said not true?
Absolutely not true. He never sold his Columbus house. Regardless of his wife being from here, he didn't move back here just because of her.
And you know that because...
Hilarious.
So you have no answer. Nice.
Nash still lives in the Columbus area and recently reorganized the basement, so there’s space. He also cleaned the garage. Asked if he has begun hunting for antiques, he issued a denial (albeit not a firm one).
“We just got a new water heater we’ve been needing for years,” he said.
Nash is embracing his newfound normalcy. He started playing hockey as a little kid and, technically speaking, he just stopped last week.
He had 805 points in 1,060 games with the Blue Jackets, Rangers and Boston Bruins. (McLaren is a 33 percent fan of each team, Nash said.) He won a world championship and two Olympic gold medals with Team Canada. He was a wingman on an international shutdown line with Jonathan Toews and Mike Richards. That line was a bear. Ask Alexander Ovechkin.
“It’s over,” Nash said. “I’ve come to terms with it. I’m OK with my decision. I’m excited to spend time with my family. We’ve had this house since the Vancouver Olympics (2010) and now it’s time to make it more of a home.”
Nash had lucrative offers. He could have extended his career just about as long as he wanted. “The best odds, by far” were on his chances of getting another twirl in Columbus, where he says he will live the rest of his life.
“It’s about my family now and giving my kids the best life I can provide them.
“I’m in a good place. I’m in the city that I love. I have my kids, they’re healthy, and that’s No. 1 in my life. Sure I miss it, but I’m more worried about my health and getting back to 100 percent. You can’t put a price on that.”
Ok so maybe he actually likes Columbus. I've been wrong before. Does that qualify him for a job with the CBJ? He still asked to leave the team.
And can we leave the name calling on the school yard?
I still want to know where your proof is, or how you arrived at your conclusion.
As an executive? No. As a team ambassador? Absolutely. Was Jody Shelley qualified for his job when he got it? No.
Or maybe, just maybe, he moved back here because he wanted to be here regardless?Not bitter, just don't like the fact that the guy left the org and moved back here because of his wife and now he wants a job to tell people how good the org is.
Or maybe, just maybe, he moved back here because he wanted to be here regardless?
Seriously, you're acting like a bitter ex here. It's embarrassing.
I don't mind disagreement by itself; I just take issue with when it's poorly argued without supporting evidence. We've got multiple reports in this thread of his wanting to stay here because he wants to be here; heck, he was spending offseasons here even while he was on the Rangers, and unlike many others who "bugged out" here he steadfastly refused to say anything bad about the city at any point despite many media folks actively baiting him into doing so. Your counterargument has consisted of "but trade request" over and over as though it somehow acquires new meaning with each repetition. That's not a rational argument; that's "This one thing happened and I refuse to let it go". Thus the "bitter ex" comment.You ever wonder why there are so few people posting on CBJ board? It's because of posts like this. You guys drive people away. I guess that's ok if you only want people that agree with you.

Given that his stated reasons for that request were to make the team better since he couldn't do it himself (which was true), and given that, y'know, that's exactly what happened, I don't see any reason to continue to be bitter.
Dude. Nash did not just force his way out with callous disregard for the team ala Foote or Carter. He more than paid his dues. And he does live here. And he has lived here. There’s no arguing that. Be pissed all you want, it’s your prerogative. But imo you’re being pissed for a dumb reason and, yes, you do sound like a bitter ex. Totally cool if that’s how you want to react to this news, but just don’t be surprised when people respond to you with incredulity and, more damning still, facts.Enjoy your board with the same 5 people. I'm out.
I agree with all your posts on this situation but know not to post about them because you will get junped on. If you would have mentioned RyJo and how lazily left the team and we are.better off with Jones you would have hit the school yard name calling speed round where everyone has 24hrs to quote and berate you and winner gets noral high ground for the day.You ever wonder why there are so few people posting on CBJ board?

Yes, you will be jumped on with facts if you are incorrect. You are free to provide your own to prove you are correct. Cause, ya know, that's how debates go.
That has more to do with the fact that folks are sick and tired of relegislating that particular debate. It was But Karlsson before But Karlsson was a thing.I agree with all your posts on this situation but know not to post about them because you will get junped on.

Apologies for that in my case; that may have been going a bit far.Another example of why I will not post here any more after this. I'm fine if people disagree but I don't like the name calling.
I agreed that he might like Columbus and that I could be wrong about that point but you guys keep bringing that up and name calling.

This board has never been welcoming to me and I assume others. I come here because I am not local and to connect with other CBJ fans. This minor incident is the last straw. I know nobody cares but I am done posting and reading here, just like so many before me, so enjoy the board with the same 5 people. Ask yourself, why are there so few people posting on the CBJ board?
