What would the asking price for Nash be for a rental? Prospect and/or pick?

Prospect and a 1-2nd rounder, I'd imagine. He's gonna command a pretty good price.

Take what he's realistically worth, and add a 1st rounder plus a prospect to it.

If only there were a competent young left handed defenseman that the Capitals could have kept instead of trotting Orpik's corpse out there 20 minutes a night.



edit: also lolling at how you can pinpoint exactly when Carlson was unburdened from Orpik.

He's very manageable for pretty much any playoff team at 50% retained ($3.9M yearly - around $1.3M prorated from the deadline). He's a UFA at the end of the year so there's no long term commitment. If Nash is really on the market, the bidding for him should be pretty fierce.

Yep. They'll retain 50%. There's even talk about retaining 50% on McD.

I don't want him to go to NSH because gently caress the preds even though PK is cool. Their dumb hate boner for Vesey is really dumb because hes not a very good player.

I have a hard time imagining Nash getting traded within the Metro, and maybe even Eastern Conference, given how NHL GMs seem to work.

I don't know anything about what these teams could give up in terms of prospects or picks, or whether they might be on Nash's trade list, or if Nash is the type of player they'd want to get at the deadline, but I could see almost any Western playoff team being interested. And with Nash being a UFA this offseason, I'm guessing NYR would be willing to retain a decent amount of salary if they can get a good return of prospects and/or picks.

WPG, SJS, NSH and LAK are all currently in a playoff position and have some cap space, and CGY is right there... STL and MIN seem to have less cap space* but maybe could work something out. I could see any of those teams seeing themselves as deadline buyers, so who knows.


*Caveat: I don't understand CapFriendly's deadline cap space projection

Definitely gets a 1st I think unless a real good prospect is part of it.

I imagine a 1st and a decent prospect, or a real good prospect and a 2nd-ish

Then agian I"ll probably be wrong and they'll trade him for a 2nd rounder and an AHLer

Yeah salary really shouldn't be an issue since he's a pending UFA and all, but if the Rangers are gonna get screwed on this deal it's gonna be that everyone says "well he's overpaid so we don't want to give you that much in return for him" which is dumb but that's sports

I'd honestly love to have him back next year on a reasonable deal

I do think Boston makes a pitch for Nash. They have the pieces to make it happen and I think he'd be a good fit for the middle 6. Depends what NY is asking for I guess. I'm sure it's "A 1st + good prospects" and that seems like too much. That's paying for what he used to be and not what he is now.

Remember when Guastad was worth a 1st rounder just to win a few faceoffs?

Deadline deals are..."different". Ultimately it'll depend on how much demand their is and whether the Rangers can play multiple teams off each other, but a 1st and a prospect for a guy who can play in all situations, generate his own scoring chances, drive play and score some goals if he gets on a hot streak isn't an insane ask if a team is willing to go all in for a run

Or you have like the Eric Staal trade, two 2nds and a good but not top tier prospect, could see something along those lines too depending on draft position etc

e: the hot take now though is that Tampa is interested in McDonagh

I don't even know what I'd want the Rangers to get from Tampa as I have a hard time seeing them willing to give up Sergechev

Yeah, a B-level prospect plus either a first or a mix of picks seems about right. My gut feeling is that Nash's perceived value is higher than that though, and it wouldn't surprise me if NY is asking for more and a team ponies up. You can never tell with NHL GMs at the deadline.

The no trade list could limit what kind of market they can get for him but who knows. Nash is still a really good player it's just that the chances he generates don't go in the net as often as they used to pretty much. I think he'd be a great add for a team wanting some better depth and flexibility in their lineup for a serious cup run

Your boy Drury was in the ‘cuse, so I wonder if it’s AHL talent. We have Stephens (AHL player of the month), Erne, cernak, masin, and WJC supastar Joseph. No real blue chips, so it’ll probably be quantity over quality.

That said tampa has hedman, sergachev, coburn, and koekkoek on the left side. And Dotchin playing first pairing on the right side. Can’t imagine macky D as Tampa’s first choice to help their defensive core.
