Revisiting The Rick Nash Trade: A Columbus Blue Jackets Perspective
In any sport, trades are a difficult thing to assess. cheap jerseysYou have players undergoing a change of scenery, both with their teammates and their life away from the game, prospects that still need time to develop, etc. Which is why it’s probably too early to assess the Rick Nash trade.
But we’re going to do it anyway.
After months of trade rumors, the Columbus Blue Cheap Jerseys NFL ChinaJackets finally shipped Nash off to the team we knew he’d land with all along: the New York Rangers. It was a deal that featured five players, three going to the Blue Jackets and two going to the Rangers, along with draft picks being swapped.
For the Rangers, this deal is working out better than they could have imagined. Nash has 24 points on the year in 25 games. He’s been a monster at both ends of the ice, and has already scored several key goals for the Blueshirts in the third period.
The Blue Jackets’ side of things hasn’t been as easy to call a success. They’re playing some mighty fine hockey of late, with points in 11 straight games. But the players that they acquired from New York haven’t been a tremendous part of that success.
Artem Anisimov has been slowed by injury, playing just 22 games this Cheap China Jerseys Free Shipping season. In those games, he only has eight points. You could say almost exactly the same thing about Brandon Dubinsky, who has appeared in only 19 games on the year.
