If Wilson may be claimed at the expansion draft, why wouldn't Nash? There would be no reason to protect him over Subban, Josi, Ekholm or Ellis. Also, if this is a courtesy and NY is giving Nashville a chance to make a bid now why Nashville pay a premium? Nash's value is pretty low at the moment.
No thanks. I have little interest in obtaining Nash at all, so it would have to be a sweetheart deal for us.
sorry if this came off the wrong way.
What I meant was. Nash is undervalued now so unless someone is in a hurry to get him, we should wait until the season is underway, and he shows enough to up his stock.
If that happens, and I assume it will, it should be an open market, and Preds should not be excluded.
I did not, and did not mean to, suggest Preds overpay a premium for him, esp. now. I meant NY should wait til his market value rises on its own, and be receptive to all suitors.
As for expansion draft, whether Nash is a 1 yr only rental for you guys or club in a similar boat or is protected for both years, I did not go there.
Nash to Nashville
sounds nice, but I don't see the fit.
Issue of what is overpayment here aside, not sure we agree on current fair market value.
btw, tmi, congrats on heist of Subban.
