Always liked Riley Nash. Upgrade on Thompson for sure. Hope Chevy doesn't go overboard with bringing in below replacement level vets and block the youngins again.

 

[RabidOne]

I know nothing about this guy. Other than odds are good Mo plays him over Harkins because gud vet?

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Could be 3rd line or 4th line RW. Don't see him taking the 4 c spot from Gus tho

Harkins Gus Nash 4th line makes sense

 

[bustamente]

This is a very interesting pick up especially if he has any gas left in the tank, didn't do much in Columbus after he left Boston, not really sure where he fits in

 

[nabby12]

He is the replacement for Lewis at 4th line RW.

I'm fine with this.

[Jets 31]

Well he was decent as a Bruin a couple years ago, that's all i got.

 

[FlappyGiraffe]

Looks like he's pretty great defensively still according to WAR

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

We definitely needed a player, the signing makes sense and the value is what we needed.

Connor - Scheifele - Wheeler
Ehlers - PLD - Stastny
Copp - Lowry - Vesalainen
Harkins - Nash - Gustafsson

Toninato next man in. Perfetti gets more time to cook in the AHL.

Hopefully this is the only forward vet signing they do but I think it's fine since he plays C and RW and is a right shot. Likely the only way the 4th line gets any TOI is having at least one vet.

 

[Guardian17]

He is described as a good defensive player.

Can't beat the price.

 

[JetsFan815]

Mo finally gets his yearly 4th line, penalty killing veteran. Thankfully unlike previous acquisitions this guy is actually an OK player for that role

 

[MardyBum]

Very good defensive C. Should be the fourth line C. Upgrade on Thompson.

 

[GeorgeJETson]

I know almost nothing about Nash.

Based upon the comments, seems like an ok 4th line PK guy.

If he can fill that role, then I'm okay with this signing.

 

[Ginger Papa]

Nice signing. Serious upgrade on Thompson, imho.

Loving this Off Season

 

[Hunter368]

I like it for the 4th line

 

[RustyCat]

Hard not to like him for the 4th line

Found this;
Back in April he was called the best shut-down fourth line centre in the NHL by JFresh hockey.

Nash is the most perfect zero - zero player.

At least he was as a Blue Jacket. The only thing I'd worry about is his injuries and whether he'll get any slower. He's already very slow.

 

[Weezeric]

Maurice is going to absolutely love him.

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

Seems to be a yearly experienced vet they bring in. Lots of experience to share with the team and the players

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

We already have a bottom-6 center with whom nothing happens either way while he's on the ice :\

 

[JetsUK]

Well, worse than Matty P for 200k less but also an actual C and will be trusted by the man with the car keys.

Pencil him in for 82 games and no more, please Chevy.
