I originally read that as:
"source: yes. also, there are still 61 fans in ohio who want them to keep him."

I think he was taking a stab at the blue jackets.

I would be okay with giving up Krejci, Ference, Caron and a 1st for Rick Nash.
- fudd1689

Krejci and a first is a good start...they would want more of your fire power...and if I'm guessing they would be asking for Seguin not Krejci...but settling for K isn't bad.

Boston is an interesting partner for them....imagine if they had Horton, Lucic and Nash.

Here's hoping Horton can be himself again...but that your team sucks.

Set up an auction with a deadline; send Columbus your best offer by Saturday, they'll let you know by Tuesday. Take the best 2 deals and negotiate with those 2 teams just to see if there is anything else. Either way, take the best deal you can at this point. Move on.

This is why you aren't an NHL GM.

Your about the only CBJ fan floating around here ever. Do you care if Nash goes? Would you like to keep him if they could mend theyre fences?
- poisondhearts37

Irritated,would be the word.

But I am of the school of thought that both Howson and Rick and his agent are at fault , Howson for not getting a deal done because he is asking for too much , and the short 6 team list imposed by the Nash camp.

Now assuming what ek says is true , maybe this is some ploy by Howson to force Rick and his agent to expand that list, do I care if he goes yes because he asked for it, if he stays and decides to kiss and make up he better not be wearing that C........

Non starter...wouldn't do it. Seguin is going to be a beast.

You be patient. That's how you do good deals. Teams get desperate.

Its funny that CBJ tweets that Foligno is confident the team is going to surprise alot of people. He just got there. He doesnt even know where he fits in yet.

There are 61 fans in Ohio, and they all want to keep him?


Sorry, had to.
- buffalofan19

Out of the 61, 20 of us root for the Wings and 15 root for the Pens, and I think one or two root for Nashville.

I would love to acquire Nash, but only for the right price. I think Howson needs to come down a ton in order to get a deal done. Krejci gives Columbus a legit #1, throw in a prospect like spooner or knight who are close to becoming top 6 forward. That would give CBJ 2 pretty good top 6 players and then add in a 1st and possibly an extra 2nd.

- thomas81

Yes having this hanging over the franchise is a great idea. The team should grow leaps and bounds with that side show going on.

- thomas81

Considering what they've been offered who else on the Bruins would fit that mold?

Answer: No one.

I didn't say I'd do it. Just what I bet that idiot Howsen is asking for.

The team was absolutely not Detroit. Wings made a huge offer on July 4th, but since the nothing.
- Eklund

I'm sorry. Could you please repeat that?


And here's to hoping they keep him. I don't want him in Northern Cali. Not for Cooch or Pavs...
Boyle, Niemi & a pick maybe....

its better than "holly poop this team is worse than expected"

The first thing he should have said to the media is clearly: we are a terrible hockey team. We have no shot at the playoffs.

That sure sells a lot of tickets.

They'd want K and one of your top two prospects at the very least. Add in a first and I think you have the makings of a deal.

I guess we'll be surprised by another lottery pick?

Would you do it for Krejci + Hamilton?

Boston and NY would beat that deal.

I imagine Ek having this convo with the guy in the bathroom that sells cologne.

- Domidives

They will. GMs are dumb. Someone will overpay. Those players traded will end up scoring more points than Nash will.

That's a given.
