NHL Trade Deadline: Columbus GM Throws Ron Nash Within Bus

Just if this made an appearance that Columbus Blue Jackets Gm Scott Howson had made all the dumb mistakes he might make in the 5 year tenure, he made the decision to throw his captain underneath the bus inside a fit of pettiness.

After teams such as the Rangers, Bruins and Nobleman all handed down Ron Nash because of an astronomical selling price (a cost which was most likely fair) Howson did the dumbest factor he's done since turning Jakub Voracek , an initial round pick along with a third round pick into Jack Manley along with a conditional first rounder through the Shaun Carter madness.

"Regarding Ron Nash, he contacted us and requested us to think about buying and selling him," Howson stated Monday mid-day. "We decided to accommodate his request as lengthy once we might get an offer that will give to us cornerstone pieces to assist us to compete for any Stanley Cup championship in in the future. It didn't happen by 3 o'clock today. This really is too vital that you our franchise and our fans to perform a deal that's not within our needs.Inch
