Dreger says the NYR are the front runners for Nash. That would be fantastic if Sather disrupts that teams chemistry and brings in Nash.

Or get's chemistry with Richards and they win a cup.

They would lose so much depth I think. They would have 1 great line and a second good line. But their 3rd and 4rth would be meh. And their defense too.IMO

The one thing they are lacking is another guy that can put the puck in the net. Nash would cost an arm and a leg. Howson should get a monster package from the Rags for Nash.

I think the guy that makes more sense for NY, is to go out and get St. Louis to play with Richards.

That is a team that is buying in to their system.
Nash could disrupt things, sure, but he could also be the piece that puts them over the top this year.

I hope Columbus gets Del Zotto + Dubinsky plus Krieder + draft pick, but NY would be stupid to do it.

Nope. Not until I see some competent play. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure Laviolette is going to shelter Bryzgalov from the big bad Winnipeg fans tomorrow night.
- PLindbergh31

So a 2.39 gaa and a .916 sv% since the new year started isnt competent?

But no Lowell George, then either, right?
Great band!

- Marc D


Nah, Lowell'd been gone 30 years by then.

They still put on a good show.

If I'm Howson, McDonagh HAS to be part of any Nash deal.

No question. A package that includes Stepan + Del Zotto should be the starting price.

Either way, telling fans they care too much is pathetic. Almost as pathetic as Bryzgalov claiming he is a scapegoat. 62nd in save %, is comical. AHL level replacement numbers.

Eating up Crossing Broad at face value is pathetic.

Substitute Stepan and Dubinsky, and we have a deal.

I'm looking at his overall numbers this season. I want to see consistency.

Per Freidman's 30 Thoughts: Mentioned on Hotstove that it's believed the Rangers told Columbus that neither Michael del Zotto nor Ryan McDonough are available.

Nope. He sucks. $10 million a year goalie.

Yet Darren Drager just tweeted that the Flyers are out on Nash because the price was too high

Why not rip Schenn, then, too? His October - December was called pathetic here too.

IDK, telling fans they care too much when they offer some encouragement? Doesn't seem right to me. But what do I know.

Schenn doesn't make sense anymore, unless they are moving Carle/Coburn (which seems highly doubtful).

I think we'll see one-more minor move - perhaps a depth forward/penalty killer.

I think they would run Sather out of town if he did that.
Columbus rebuilds in one fell swoop if they could pull that off.
