Remember the New York Rangers? Yes, the team that held the best record in the Eastern Conference during the NHL season?
Well, after a fairly quiet off-season, the Rangers made a blockbuster trade, acquiring Rick Nash from the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for three players. The Rangers and Jackets were in previous talks for one of the game's top scorers during the regular season, but the trade fell though.
This time the two teams were able to get it done.
Nash, 28, is in the prime of his career. He has average 30 or more goals in seven of his nine NHL seasons. He will bring needed offense to a team that couldn't muster a clutch goal during the postseason, something that killed them in the Eastern Conference Finals against the New Jersey Devils.
That being said, Nash carries with him a six-year contract that will count $7.8 million against the Rangers cap. Yet, it is worth it for one of the game's top scorers.
