This the your post to which I responded. My issue was with the bolded statements.
This was your response to my response.
First you said that If we ate some salary to move Nash, teams would not only jump at that, but they would also give up real assets to acquire him. By "real assets," I assumed you meant something that team had that a team such as the Rangers would "really want." A bubble team you listed included the Redwings. An assets the Red Wings have that is real is their skate sharpeners, hot dog stands, and janitors (although janitors are not capital they are labor, so they are a form of a real asset). These are the only real assets I could see a team such as the Redwings giving us for a "prime-time scorer" who hasn't been able to score in the playoffs. I also think that since all of HF boards as well as the hockey community in general are aware of the rank feeling we, the Ranger fans, have for Rick Nash, the other GMs may have an idea that we are desperate to get rid of him.
If Rick Nash doesn't regain his mojo, we will be stuck with him in many different forms.
If we bought him out, we would have to live with Richards contract.
If we keep him, we have his contract as well as less wiggle room for other players.
If we move him, it will be out of not only exasperation, but also desperation, and we will have to eat something there too.
There will be no easy way out of this if he doesn't come back to form.
