That said, there is a fake Dreger account on twitter saying that Nash to Ottawa is done. I will laugh at the first person who posts it, but it still does seem plausible

Once is is validated on air, then I am good.

Otherwise I am... interesting, let's see if it is real.

As someone once said: Blogging / Twitter is just graffiti, with potentially better punctuation.

So you mean Yost then, right?

Apparently that Strickland tweet was fake too, somehow, which surprises me because he's usually pretty good.

The one I meant was the imposter account @DarrenDreger_

Yeah, funny how that works.

However, I don't think the Nash trade - at least at the rumored return - would be good for Ottawa, not really the right fit

- S Kaspar Rollins



I think anyone who trades for Nash will overpay.

Nash is not an elite player (ie: Crosby), or even the next tier (ie: Giroux, Towes, etc).

Still a solid guy, and a key part to any team, but not someone you build a team around. At the very least, the Sens would have Spezza to play with him, which is a good start.

He has to be on a team where he isn't necessarily the top guy

Andy Strickland ‏@andystrickland

Fake tweet had me reach out to #sens GM Bryan Murray who says he hasnt even talked to #CBJ today


How people still get fooled is beyond me, especially someone like Strickland.

The problem is his cap hit makes that almost impossible.

Why didn't you get more cut?

Or was it an accident?

And to get him on the team, all the great work they did the last 3-5 years on drafting and developing, will be ruined. they will have to shed players and salaries to make it happen, impacting their depth.

It depends. Say what you want about Sather but he doesn't get ripped off in trades too often. Columbus' price hasn't changed since the deadline, he didn't bite on it then even though they were the closest team, I doubt he'll do it now.

I.can see habs secretly trading subban. If they went public they lose any leverage in dwals and montrealers would riot lol. but in no way is subban plus 3rd overall going to edmonton for yakupov. sorry not happening. montrealers would never go to a game again. it would be a steal for oilers. i say try to pry the forth pick from islanders for like subban and a second. Then you can draft gals and forsberg or murray. or even better try to pry huberdeau from floriday. hiw better to start the whole french canadian connection theme going on. Louis leblanc. david dehernais. and huberdeau. that would be great lol.

My 5th grade teacher always used that joke.

Did you get a hair cut?!
No, actually. I got them ALL cut!

Hilarity ensued.
He was a real barrel of laughs.

However in this case "haircut" was one word so it doesn't really work...

Secretly trading him? What, like he just shows up at some other teams camp in September without explanation?
