[Unbiased]

Ellis > Klein and I think Nashville would rather keep Fiala

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

Ellis > Klein and Nash isn't worth a top prospect at this point, especially with no salary retention.

 

[PeterLax]

This is bad from a Nashville perspective, I'm not trading Fiala for someone who's going to get poached with expansion, and certainly not downgrading from Ellis.

This.

If Rongos want to move Nash, fans will probably be underwhelmed with the return a la Kessel 2015 Trade.

 

[Stephen Gionta]

Change Fiala to a 2nd round pick.

And add a 3rd or a middle forward prospect to New York.

Then it seems fair.

Nash + Klein
for
Ellis + 2nd + 3rd

 

[Childish Gamsteeno]

Surprised a Preds fan proposed this. Definitely in New York's favour

 

[Doriva]

Wasn't it not too long ago that Nashville fans were offering Fiala + 1st + Nystrom for Nash at 30% ?

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Yeah... Preds wake up sad they offered this deal.

 

[He Is Knocking]

I'd do that all day if I were a NYR fan.

 

[dumpin]

With all of the additions the NYR have made to improve the pk it will hopefully cut Nash's pk time. He did a decent job on pk. but I would rather Nash focus on his offensive game.

Remember he is only one season from scoring 42 goals. He also has to stay healthy.. He still has good speed , size, and hands. With Nash I think it is how he is used. I really think he would flourish with the right team or system.

I guess my point is his talent is being undervalued, but his contract does hurt.

I have only seen that offer from one single guy, well and of course you quoting it like a hundred times

 

[Trxjw]

I'd easily accept this as a Rangers fan. I think Nash's bounce-back potential is undersold around here, but this is a great deal for the Rangers even if Fiala doesn't pan out. They might be forced to buy out Girardi though to be able to escape the expansion draft without losing Ellis. Assuming they can't trade Girardi or Staal anyway.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Confused that a Preds fan created this proposal. Awful for us.

Agreed.

To Smashvillle Kevin Klein, Rick Nash

To NYR: Kevin Fiala, Ryan Ellis

After moving out Jones and Weber in the last year and losing Vesey to FA, I find it hard to believe that they would make a trade to get significantly older and lose another top prospect

 

[UnderratedBrooks44]

I just can't imagine why Nash would be worth his cap hit to anyone. Not anyone trying to win Cups at least. I like his talent, not so much what he shows for that price tag.

 

[RangerBoy]

This.

I would take moving Nash and retaining 15% for a #1,a former #1 from the previous year and a good prospect. The Rangers take back no contacts. Where do I sign?

HA!

No, thanks.

Hey man I'm simply a passionate Rick Nash defender so I'm just trying to be as unreasonable as everyone else on these boards.

But in terms of this OP, as much as I rate Ellis I'd take Kevin Klein in this Rangers team every time the offensive difference isn't too big and Klein is very very solid on the backend which will be needed with some young blood (Skjei and McIlrath) possibly seeing more time.

If the only return for Nash is Fiala I'd much rather just see the contract out in hopes that either A) Something miraculous happens and Henrik can carry us on another deep run or B) We ship Nash off at next years deadline if things arent going well and recover at least a 1st+ when looking at this recent rental markets.

I offered Fiala, 1st, and Nystrom for Nash at a 50% retention. Now it looks like we wouldn't need the retention so the offer would change quite a bit.

Thats the way I see it as well, but I feel the Ranger will be in the playoffs thus making the Rangers buyers.. Not realistic contenders. I think Nash's value will be a lot higher at the deadline with teams needing that one piece.

Alright challenge accepted...

Nashville gives Austin Watson, 2017 1st, and Viktor arvidsson

Rangers gives Nash with 15% retained

So if Nash has a down year are yall going to protect him in the expansion draft?

 

[KingTux]

Yeah... Preds wake up sad they offered this deal.

He may be a hidden Habs fan too
