Proposal: Montreal offer for Rick Nash

[Number 57]

With the Rangers adding Pirri and Vesey it seems they have a surplus of forwards, plus they have been rumoured for a while to be shopping Nash around. Since they have a pretty complete line-up even without Nash, I will assume that the Rangers would be incline to accept a picks/prospects type of deal, and save some cap space for in-season dealings.

Now as a Habs fan I would be willing to pay a fairly high price for Nash, even given his 7.8M cap hit. For this to happen though, Montreal would likely need to ditch Desharnais and Emelin (yes, both). There might be suitors around the league, but it may not be realistic to think that Bergevin could pull it off. Unless the NYR take on one of them in the Nash deal, which could make sense. So yes in instance this deal is a pretty long shot, but I still wanna put it out there.

My offer:

-MTL 1st round pick 2017 (not lottery protected)
-Your choice of Martin Reway or Arturri Lehkonen
-Your choice of Sven Andrighetto or Daniel Carr
-Possibly one of Desharnais/Emelin

Not giving Rangers quality prospects again. Ever. Make it a 2nd + 3rd with some cap dump and/or guys like Matteau or Flynn. Else, **** outta here with Nash. Oh and retain some of his salary. You still own us, NY.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

He doesn't want to go to any of the Canadian teams for some reason

 

[Drew4u]

No thanks.

 

[Doriva]

Most likely one of the more realistic offers on this board, inb4 the "he's a worthless cap dump" brigade show up.

 

[Benstheman]

Lehkonen is a no go.

So i'm down with 2017 1st, Emelin, Reway and Ghetto/Carr

 

[StuckOutHere]

I think the Rangers would be looking for an NHL calibre(#3 or #4) RHD (who is slightly overpaid but no albatross)+picks/prospects.

 

[beowulf]

Nope, Nash is a non-starter because of his contract, especially for the what you offer.

I think the Rangers would be looking for an NHL calibre(#3 or #4) RHD (who is slightly overpaid but no albatross)+picks/prospects.

So Rangers would like to trade an albatross contract who didn't produce anything last year for a 3-4 that is slightly overpaid AND a pick? Why would the receiving team do that?

If Nash proves he can deliver in the 1st 15-20 games, MAYBE he'll notch that... But wiuth the way he played and produced last year, I do not think Nash moves from NYR unless he comes with a 1st or a really good prospect

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

So Nash with his awful caphit, inconsistent play and age worth more than Kessel ?

Horrible for MTL.

 

[StuckOutHere]

Not Habs, but maybe something built around Mike Green for Rick Nash?

 

[JayMan82]

Halak, Ryder, 2nd / Nash

 

[Trxjw]

Nope, Nash is a non-starter because of his contract, especially for the what you offer.

He's actually a non-starter because he won't waive for any Canadian team.

Detroit has less than zero room for any forwards, especially on the wings.

 

[Raspewtin]

Nash has no Canadian teams on his 12 team list.

 

[Lebowski]

That would be a dumb trade to make.

 

[kingdok]

shade of Gomez.

 

[glenbuis]

That would be a dumb trade to make.

definitely. overpaid, over rated. ever see him get upset when he loses ? if your gonna pay someone 7.8 a year i like to see them get the suks like crosby and toews. it shows they care. nash is slowing quickly .

 

[glenbuis]

He's actually a non-starter because he won't waive for any Canadian team.

thats a relief. Nash ( hit him with your purse ) can stay in the states.

 

[vipernsx]

He doesn't want to go to any of the Canadian teams for some reason

Yup, they're not on the list.

 

[Legend123]

Lehkonen is a big NO. He's one of the habs best nhl ready prospects, maybe THE best.
Any trade involving Mtl and NYR would have to include DD/Emelin and Nash with some of his salary or cap hit retained.

 

[Legend123]

Yup, they're not on the list.

No, i think since he waived his NMC to go to NYR, it becomes void and can be traded to any team inc mtl.

 

[LV*]

No one is going to offer that much for Nash imo... No one wants his cap hit

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

So Nash with his awful caphit, inconsistent play and age worth more than Kessel ?

Horrible for MTL.

A long-term signed Kessel with the Leafs retaining ~1.5 mil, no less.

Habs get reamed.

 

[Moose Head]

No, i think since he waived his NMC to go to NYR, it becomes void and can be traded to any team inc mtl.

I said this in another thread, but I was probably wrong. The NMC for the first 5 years may have been voided, but not the modified NTC (12 team list) on the last 3 years. Two different clauses. He only waived the NMC.
