Honestly lets all take a step back and be thankful Homers our GM. The return he got for richards and carter is amazing compared to what Howson got for a player that is better than both richards and carter and also doesn't have a contract thats 10 plus years.

Um, that is seriously debatable that Nash is better. Nash is one of the most over rated, over priced players in hockey. I guess Sather misses having Drury/Gomez type contracts on his roster.

RT @Aportzline: #CBJ also sending 3rd pick and minor-league defenseman to #NYR in Nash trade. Told defenseman is not David Savard


Got to be kidding.

So Anisimov, Erixon, Dubinsky and a 1st for Nash a 3rd and a minor league Dman.. I think Columbus got hosed.

Artem is a decent player. I liked him. But, how could you not be drunk to make that deal. And he wanted coots and schenn. Hello idiot.

Howson better hope Erixson turns into a top pairing D-man because the rest is average talent at best. Wow, did Howson overplay his hand.

Rick Nash broke the buzz!

Wow the Rangers certainly like to have over priced, over rated players making nearly 8 million a season for infinity on their roster.

- MBFlyerfan


My hope is Nash's presence allows the Flyers to capture a point from the Rangers next year.

I agree completely. I'm really surprised at how well Howson did. All of the writers saying this is a terrible return for Nash are completely out to lunch.

This is true. Im fighting the whole Supply/demand thing, but I think you're right.......


there was nothing close to a schenn or coots in this trade, exiron could be good but not as good as either of them

The return Columbus got for Nash if the reported trade goes down seems fair, but they all have to pan out for it to really work for CBJ.


Are you serious? C'mon dude.

I wonder if this deal in any way reduces the expected return for Weber? Perhaps it would have had the Flyers not been the only team in on the deal.

Different positions, different needs.

Still, as over rated and over priced as Nash is, this was a pretty good deal for the Rangers.

Ryan's price just got reduced, that is for sure.

Blue Jackets fans have to be hoping this is just a terrible case of everyone spelling Chris Kreider wrong.
