Agreed, but is he not a legit top line winger? Who cares if he's over paid by a couple million?
- Jeropotato

I guess he's a first liner. But his production is not that good. I never understood how a 60 point player for years could be called a "Franchise Player".

I'd say one the rAngers won't resign him
- todd1a

Nash has game breaking talent... regardless if people deem him "over-rated" or not... love to see him in Toronto.... tough to find speed, size, and hands on a player, he has all three...

didn''t you guys give up like 2 2nd's and another pick for Lindback?
- aries1976

It happens he was a dud but those we're picks sold at deadline for Moore and kubina we had extra picks

On Toronto he'd be a laughing stock in the NHL for making 7.8 million per and having lousy production.

The guy has what, 3 career playoff goals? He was terrible in the playoffs.

Did you see that Columbus roster when he was there?

Yeah, this whole argument is based on "what if's". According to you, nothing will go wrong for Tampa at all, and everything that could go wrong will go wrong for the Rangers. That's your brilliant argument.

Things go wrong Malone Purcell lindback every teams have issues

- Jeropotato

The issue is, he's gone to a better team and hasn't done any better. That really is a excuse. Phil Kessel can score playing with anyone.

Let's face it, players in markets like Columbus get zero criticism.

Yup. But you're the one planning the parade.

Leafs are already a laughing stock of sorts, and his playoff stats mean squat to me, we got to get there again first.

The Rangers could not trade Nash right now with that contract imo.

True story. I was never a real nash fan anyway. When he won the Rocket...didn't he have less than 20 assists? Can't trust a player like that.

Well your the one saying we suck and have no chance at all and everything will go wrong

There are stupid GM's littered all across the NHL.

And he won it with 41 goals. He was 19 and never repeated it. Does it mean anything 12 years later?

Actually, I said there was reason for optimism, but I would be cautious about calling my team the next dynasty . Not sure what you read.

Nope.

Vasi in the minors the number one goalie prospect
- todd1a

John Gibson says Hi..............

Wasn't another goalie prospect from another florida team in the minors rated pretty high as well.

Yep then he got traded for a top ten NHL goalie, now what was his name again?

Let's see you as a GM. It's easy being a fan. Most people were saying how good of a deal it was for the rangers and how they will win a cup the next year and now everyone hates it. I hate when fans say there are stupid GMs. It's a very tough business and there is no way you would be a good GM.

You not getting eberle for a 7 million dollar pylon. Give your head a shake
- Snagglepuss

might not be eberle but it will be more than you think. As much as people hate on Dion, he is one of the top 10 defenceman in the league, worth the 7 mill a season.

DERP!!!!

What I was referencing was the people that say no-way Sather could trade Nash, his contract is bad and his production is pedestrian. I say if Sather wanted to, he could. So by that logic, one would be stupid to trade for him. Don't take things so literally if youre not going to follow the context.

And for the record. Mike Milbury was a stupid man.
