Edit: Sorry, today.

as much as we love the young guys, it seems management is looking for more experience/defense/faceoff aptitude in the playoffs.

feel like this is more or less to get BB back to Syracuse to get more playing time

instead of Fortier. Because for me Fortier looks better than ABB a that line,but he doesnt have any experience,and still needs some time to developing,hes not a 100% NHLer for now. So Nash can play there

ABB is done. Rad and Got are going to get there looks until Kuch and Point return. Nash will ply 3 and 4th lines and get PK time. He's a lot like Goodrow so I'm not mad about the move. Even if he does not work out it's better than the kids playing in bottom 6. If the kids are going to make it we need them in top 6. Can they we are gonna see.
Doubt he even plays. We shouldn't be scratching any forwards currently and if we did it should be to go 11/7 so Foote plays not Nash. He will only be here a month tops till Point or Kucherov is back. Better to sit him in the pressbox than Barre-Boulet who can now get games in Syracuse.
These Are The Days
Oh no! We suck again!!
This was my first thought. This year's late game execution is the worst I think I have ever seen in the Jon Cooper era. These days it feels like no lead is safe when the trademark of our recent success has been to work like a boa; every time the opposition tries to squirm we just clamp down even tighter on that little spot they just left open.
It's crazy to think it took like 6 games for us to have a lead and yet we'd be in 1st place by a fairly decent margin if we hadn't bungled so many 3rd period leads afterward.

Lots of OT and SO games though, many minutes played. I hope this doesn’t bite us down the road after two seasons of going all the way.
It feels like early Cooper years when everyone was 23. I think it's about so many guys in new roles.
While there’s a decent chance we lose him to waivers when Point and Kuch come back and we have to send him down, if Nash does (due to additional injuries or his going unclaimed) remain with the team until the playoffs I think another reason for bringing him onboard is to minimize our reliance on the kids in the postseason. I’m comfortable with Katchouk and Colton, and Raddysh has been looking more competent out there lately, but ABB isn’t ready and I’ve never been impressed with Joseph. Not saying Nash will be anything special, and he may well be a complete bust for us, but IF he can simply give us safe, low event minutes he would be a safer bet in the playoffs than two or three of the kids we’ve been playing.

My only issue is every time I see the name Nash, I think Rick.
