Who is going to take Nash?
Unless Montreal does something stupid like the Gomez trade, I can't see any team trading for Nash.
I think Nash is a bit underrated.
Mind you, not underrated for his present contract, but the general sentiment makes it sound like he's worthless. I think if you swallow $1.8m from his contract he becomes pretty attractive and very tradable at $6m AAV. Also, the Rangers can trade Nash for lower quality assets like picks or prospects to teams that want to get better quickly and don't mind his cap hit for 2 more years.
I think Anaheim can do well with Nash and also has the cap space, maybe swap Rackell (unsigned RFA) for Nash straight up.
He wouldn't have to be the best player on the team (ala Kessel in TOR vs PIT), and he is very good in all 3 zones.
Last year he was not good but he had a terrific year before that and was good in the short playoff run.
Maybe the Oilers have space for him, that's another team that has too many forwards that don't know what it means to play D.
