Man, this thread can't be turning into A 2014-15 season post-mortem.
It's one bad game, and I know Nash not scoring is an issue during the playoffs, but I think everyone should relax in talking about trade discussions. The series is tied 1-1!
I agree, for different reasons. Win or lose this year, this is a very good team with a lot of very good players on good contracts (you think MCD isn't worth almost twice his 4.5 mil a year?)that will be even better next year, with Hayes, Miller having more experience, a few good kids to replace the dead wood on the team (think MSL, Glass), and Sather has done well signing college kids like Hayes, maybe he can get another gem.
It takes a lot of luck as well as skill to go all the way, and we ain't dead yet, in fact, we're 1-1 in the ECF. So let's not trade the whole team.
If Nash wasn't making 8+ mil, we wouldn't be having this discussion. I'd like a lot more from him, TBH, but he isn't the sole reason we are 1-1 instead of 2-0.
MSL was dreadful last night, Lundqvist wasn't very good, the whole team was sloppy as hell, and yet if Nash or Fast had scored short-handed, it would have been tied and a different game.
People get too high when we win, and want to trade half the team when we lose one game.
