Claimed off Waivers: [ARI] Riley Nash claimed off waivers by the Coyotes from the Lightning

[majormajor]

This was likely the Riley Nash of past. This year on the Jets he was actually bad and pretty much useless, that's why he got waived. It isn't surprising that even a powerhouse like TBL couldn't be what he needed to get it going. Ain't the same dude he once was.

He is painfully slow at this point but statistically he's still a "nothing happens" player. He had one of the lowest chances against rates on the Jets.

Two ways to look at it I guess. Playing with a cup favorite, now going to a bottom feeder. He will definitely get more playing time, but if he ends up in the AHL with Arizona...

Shouldn't happen but if some other player outperforms him...

Career earnings wise this is a good thing for him if he takes the opportunity.

For those interested, this cost Arizona $3,375, paid to Tampa Bay and not counted against the cap.

Do they even have the $3,375?

He might make more stops along the way before returning to the Moose, or not. He's going on tour.

It’s honestly incredible that he had a 40 point season not all that long ago

Jokes on them, we won’t pay it.

At least not on time.

Well done.

that ECAC spirit lives on inside him
