(Please recall the "We don't want you" chant directed at Nash in his last game there.) Scott Howson will probably end up with a better offer this summer, so I expect he was right to turn down the Rangers. However, if he expects anything close to what he was supposedly asking for (The New York Post reported that he demanded Dubinsky, either McDonagh or Del Zotto, either Stepan or Hagelin, and Chris Kreider, plus a 2012 first-rounder) he is a complete idiot. I give him more credit than that; I think he was looking toward the summer all along. But if any fan believes that the Jackets should get anything close to that package, they need to have their head examined. The fact is the Jackets should be eager to get rid of Nash - he doesn't want to be there, and he is taking up almost 8 million dollars of cap space. The onus is on Columbus to move him just as much as it is on opposing teams to make a good offer.Godshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13996364499403829175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796383459721793585.post-40887364321900154962012-03-07T00:39:27.991-05:002012-03-07T00:39:27.991-05:00Come on,...playing AJ is just aimed at keeping the...Come on,...playing AJ is just aimed at keeping the over paid Nash happy. Nobody else in the NHL is going to pay Nash what CBJ is paying him (pay and length of contract), that is why there was no takers, don't kid yourself. Every GM in the NHL saw him "dog it" for the whole season! That is why nobody wanted to make a deal with the devil, not for that many years. It's about character displayed on the ice, stupid. Mr Nash doesn't "get it" yet. Now we have him putting forth more effort than he has all year because he wants out of town.GoalTender44https://www.blogger.com/profile/06679176743501589829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796383459721793585.post-88450128012390989972012-03-05T21:04:29.158-05:002012-03-05T21:04:29.158-05:00Yeah, Pete, if Howson didn't agree with the co...Yeah, Pete, if Howson didn't agree with the color of the sky in Claude Noel's world, he certainly won't like the "Worst D-man instead of Top Prospect at Forward" move.Dark Blue Jacketnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796383459721793585.post-89783734533696304482012-03-05T20:55:46.845-05:002012-03-05T20:55:46.845-05:00You Rock!
