That's my point - Nash went for spare parts in a time when the cap was still going up. - Slump Buster
Jeff Carter Traded to Columbus by Philadelphia for Jakub Voracek and Columbus's 1st (Sean Couturier) and 3rd (Nick Cousins) round choices in 2011 Entry Draft, June 23, 2011.
Also...spare parts?
Traded to NY Rangers by Columbus with Steven Delisle and Columbus' 3rd round choice (Pavel Buchnevich) in 2013 Entry Draft for Brandon Dubinsky, Artem Anisimov, Tim Erixon and NY Rangers' 1st round choice (Kerby Rychel) in 2013 Entry Draft, July 23, 2012
Dubinsky is a 50 point player, Anisimov was a good young player at the time of the trade, Rychel is a first rounder, and Erixon was considered a decent prospect

Those weren't spare parts at the time. Anisimov was a good young centre. Dubinsky was a very good 2nd line centre in his prime and a 1st round pick. And nobody ate $$.
Carter - Voracek, a high 1st and a 3rd.
Richards - Schenn, Simmonds and a 2nd.
Ryan - two young highly rated prospects and a 1st.

Carter an Richards are (were) solid two-way centers. Ryan didn't have a prohibitive contract when he was moved.

And yet neither were in the top 5 in NHL scoring for 3 consecutive years. And Carter was a winger at the time of the trade. And both Carter and Richards had high contracts relative to the cap at the time. So give it a rest.
