the big 1 is will Nash deal get done today or not...he may go to a team no one expects... San Jose has stumbled as of late makes me wonder if they'll jump in on Nash.

I have my doubts on Nash getting moved, if he was going you would think it would have happened a while back.

i thought it would have got done on the weekend...but I think Columbus has placed to high a value on him and that might come today...I don't understand why the Rangers would make a move for him...He'd be a good fit in Vancouver and they have a young goalie they could offer in a trade.

TSN now reports Boston is in the hunt for Oduya.

Oilers are saying that Gagner is not available. How about the 10 Mil that Hemsky got, that is fucked up!!

I think he's worth it if he plays to his potential, and he's still young....but he's always hurt, and has been playing emotionless hockey this year. Still, the 2 year deal expires when Hall and Eberle will get re-upped....so I'm thinking maybe this is maybe a bit of a favour, a forward-looking deal, and he will be expected to return the favour by signing for less than market two years from now....at least that's what I hope. I like Hemmer, glad he's staying. I think the only Oiler being actively shopped is Khaibibulan.

From what they were saying on sportsnet on the weekend, Nash won't go to any Western teams...he put together a list of teams he'd play for, and LA and San Jose weren't on it. I think the Rangers and Philly are the only real players at the moment.....Ranger fans chanting 'we don't want you'....wtf is up with that? You don't pass up the chance to land a superstar like Nash.

I can't really see him moving until the offseason.

Doesn't make much sense to me to reward a guy for having a terrible season with a 2 year 10 mil deal. Just my opinion.

It was an overpayment for sure. He is a better player than he's exhibited this year, but a 5-mil cap hit is ridiculous for his production.

Rick Nash Trade Rumors: Sharks Make 'Firm' Offer, In Until Deadline With Maple Leafs

by James Brady


It's been at least five minutes since we wrote about Rick Nash, so we're coming back at you again. The NHL trade deadline is today (that's Monday, folks) at noon pacific, and it's going down to the wire. Trade talks may not be active right now in regards to Nash, but teams are certainly preparing offers for another go at the Columbus Blue Jackets' star forward.

There's a couple added dynamics to the trade. For one, Nash may be motivated for a trade now with the recent talks from his agent and for two, the Blue Jackets are not planning on lowering their demands for Nash, according to Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch. So one side is potentially motivated while the other is motivated only if the price is right. It makes sense given the status of the Blue Jackets' front office - they're not going to let a potentially lame duck general manager sell Nash for lower than what they're absolutely secure with.

That being said, there's even more rumors about where the teams are at in their talks. Columbus' Fan 97.1 is reporting (via Jennifer Benson) that the Blue Jackets have two firm offers from the Sharks and the Toronto Maple Leafs, believed to be the only two serious contenders for Nash now that the New York Rangers appear out of the discussions. Columbus is supposedly considering both of these offers, which may or may not be last considerations before the deadline.

Lastly, there is the possibility that the Sharks' new offer could include goaltender Antti Niemi (as Fear The Fin's Matthew Taylor notes). We noted the rumors earlier today regarding Niemi and how it's a big shock he was included in trade talks for James van Riemsdyk. If he's on the table in that trade, he could be on the table in this one if the Sharks want Nash enough. All reports indicate they do.
