[Zats Muccarello]

It's Zucc for me. Nash had a very high peak but Zucc was incredibly consistent.

 

[Thordic]

My heart votes Zucc but my head says Nash. Can we vote in Zucc on the other side?

 

[Crease]

Zuccarello. I can't get past Nash's playoff record.

 

[NYR Viper]

It's Nash

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Mats.

Nash was a more gifted player who peaked higher as a Ranger but Mats was definitely the better Ranger for me.

 

[TheDirtyH]

Still think Nash was a LW. Zuuuuc.

 

[LokiDog]

It’s gotta be Mats.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Mats -> Rick -> Cally - Marty

 

[nyr2k2]

Nash had two good seasons, one of which was a partial season, and was otherwise ineffective offensively.

Zuccarello was basically good for 50+ points every single season, and by all outward appearances was a fantastic teammate.

It's Zuccarello on longevity, consistency, and overall production each season. For most of his tenure Nash was a shell of the player we acquired.

 

[Gardner McKay]

It's Nash

I agree. Although, for some reason I think I clicked MSL. If there is tie breaker my vote is 100% for Nash.

 

[Machinehead]

Zuccarello. I can't get past Nash's playoff record.

Zuccarello wasn't particularly great in the playoffs.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Still think Nash was a LW. Zuuuuc.

This.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

Voted Zucc - he was more consistent than Nash.

 

[Fitzy]

I agree. Although, for some reason I think I clicked MSL. If there is tie breaker my vote is 100% for Nash.

I'll add the MSL vote to Nash's totals at the end.

Looking like we won't need a vote for 3rd liner. Nash played over 80% of his games with NYR on the right, and so that's where he's going.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

ZUUUUUUUUU

 

[I Eat Crow]

I'm being nitpicky, but Nash should be listed as a LW. He's my vote regardless.

 

[kovazub94]

Zuke for me with no hesitation, and I will have absolutely no problem taking Nash for 2LW next.

 

[Cassano]

Never was a fan of Nash - even during his CBJ days. He was a disappointing NYR as well - although a lot of that is attributed to the concussion Lucic gave him his first season. It was just bad cap management to invest that much in him. I'll take Zucc and then Nash

 

[CasusBelli]

Nash for stats; Zuke for completeness. Went with Zuke.

 

[super6646]

St. Louis ain’t really getting any love.

 

[Edge]

I went with Zucc, though it wasn’t an easy choice.

I think Nash’s peak and danger factor were higher, and his two-way game was underrated.

But I think Zucc was a pretty steady presence who quietly snuck up on some all-time lists.

I can’t object to either one getting the nod.

 

[Fitzy]

St. Louis ain’t really getting any love.

He really only had one good playoff run for us, after that he just had sort of mediocre Naslund esque final year. He never really found chemistry with any line that year.

Think he'll be voted maybe as one of the spare forwards

 

[eco's bones]

Zucc--he was more consistent offensively and just an overall sparkplug.

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

Nash is getting credit for Columbus stats? Bc his tenure with us doesn't sniff zucc
